Zhengyu Fu

Hi. I’m Zhengyu Fu, a rising senior at the Hong Kong University of science and technology majoring in integrative systems and design, with a dual major in computer engineering. I am a robotics fanatic with a particular passion for model-based and optimization-based control of complex mechanical systems. With extensive hands-on experience in robot design, manufacturing, and control gained from robotic competitions, I am down to bring crazy and frontier ideas into real life. This summer, it is my great honor to work in the Robotic Exploration Lab with Professor Zachary Manchester and lab members one legged locomotion and contact-rich model predictive control for quadrupeds. I am profoundly grateful to Professor Zachary for giving me this opportunity and for providing me with a scholarship. I would also like to thank the RISS team, the sponsors, and everyone who makes the RISS Program possible. Your efforts open up the possibilities of a young enthusiastic researcher and light up his way forward.
