Background

About Zachary Fuge

I am a highly driven individual that is energized by tackling complex challenges in coordinated robotic autonomy through research and real-world applications. Skilled in researching and developing robotic systems from the ground up, as evidenced by my work on platforms like TREC’s humanoid robot PANDORA and quadruped SQUEAKY. My research has encompassed path-planning algorithms, low-level control systems, sensor integration and circuit design. Proficient across software languages with a focus on C/C++, Python, Java and MATLAB. Well-versed in Ubuntu and ROS2 for communication, algorithm research, and coordination of robotic systems. Experienced in the full lifecycle of robotic research including ideation, rapid prototyping and troubleshooting issues. I am an excellent problem-solver and team collaborator with strong communication, time management, and organizational abilities. Interested in opportunities to push boundaries in swarm robotics, embedded systems, and autonomous robotics by applying my robotics background. My research background has been honed through hands-on engineering projects and a strong passion for robotic research, enabling me to actively push boundaries and expand scientific frontiers.
