Selected Research Projects
LLM-based Interactive CAD-FEA Tool
Jun 2024 – Oct 2024Project Lead
Built an LLM-driven CAD/FEA interactive system using C#/Python for secondary CAD development and local LLM API integration. The system was validated on a fruit-picking robot end-effector design workflow.
- Integrated LLM API with CAD secondary development for automated design iteration.
- Implemented interactive FEA pipeline bridging geometry modeling and simulation.
- Validated the system on fruit-picking end-effector design (ICEMCE 2024).
Scalable Tetrahedral Robot Path Planning
May 2024 – Nov 2024Project Lead
Proposed a variable-scale tetrahedral rolling robot for planetary exploration, developing triangular-grid trajectory planning and GA-based path optimization algorithms.
- Designed a variable-scale tetrahedral rolling robot architecture.
- Developed triangular-grid trajectory planning and genetic algorithm-based path optimization.
- Demonstrated feasibility for planetary exploration scenarios (AIM 2025).
