Engineering intelligent robotic systems.
I’m Chi-Jui (Raymond) Lu, a mechanical engineer working across robot manipulation, control, perception, and hands-on prototyping. Incoming M.Sc. student in Mechanical Engineering at ETH Zürich.
Selected work / 2023—2025
Projects spanning robot perception, learning from demonstration, feedback control, sensing, and product prototyping.
Robot perception & manipulation
Built a camera-to-robot spatial registration workflow using AprilTag detection and 3D point correspondence, then integrated marker-based localization with autonomous grasping on a Stretch 3 mobile manipulator.
Learning from demonstration
Created a teleoperation data pipeline with a Koch arm and collected demonstrations under varied lighting to train a manipulation policy with Hugging Face LeRobot.
Feedback control
Designed a gravity-loaded test rig and implemented P and PI position controllers, improving validation realism while achieving the fastest response in class.
Wearable sensing
Engineered a garment-integrated capacitive sensor, characterized material behavior across controlled environments, and delivered wireless multi-channel sensing.
Product engineering · Logitech
Prototyped distinct low-latency haptic cues, compared ERM and LRA actuators, modified production CAD, and built a repeatable Python/Arduino demo for stakeholder reviews.
Mechanism design
Designed a worm-gear transmission that routed one motor to slewing or gripper motion, verified load paths, and built a functional prototype.
Experience
Anvil Robotics
Hands-on robotics assembly experience supporting the transition from engineered subsystems to integrated robotic hardware.
Human-Robot Cooperation Lab · NTHU
Developed perception, calibration, visual-servoing, and learning-from-demonstration workflows for mobile manipulation.
Logitech
Prototyped haptic gaming-mouse concepts and coordinated mechanical, electrical, firmware, and user-study work.
National Tsing Hua University
Supported circuit laboratories for 50+ students and provided weekly feedback across assignments and examinations.

Beyond the lab
Engineering is how I think; sport is where I practice composure. Outside the lab, I play baseball, basketball, badminton, and cello—activities that keep teamwork, timing, and deliberate practice close at hand.
