Chuye Zhang
I will start my M.S. in Robotics at Georgia Tech in Fall 2025. I earned my B.S. in Robotics Engineering from Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) in July 2025, where I worked with Professor Wei Zhang in the CLEAR lab since 2022. |
My work focuses on creating intelligent robots that help Alzheimer’s patients with daily tasks, improving their quality of life. I’m especially interested in making robots better at handling physical interactions in complex situations, and in designing control methods and interfaces that allow them to assist people reliably over the long term. |
