01 / ROBOTICS · HUMAC, SUNWAY UNIVERSITY
The six-legged
coffee runner.
It does not actually deliver coffee. Legal wanted that clarified.
Calibration-Based Development of a Web-Operated Dynamixel Hexapod Robot
Python control software, actuator calibration, web-based operation, Raspberry Pi integration, and comparisons of fixed gait, inverse kinematics and Bézier-based locomotion for an 18-actuator hexapod.
✷ Best Paper Award · IET ICETA 2026, Taiwan
IET: Institution of Engineering and Technology.
Research award for the robotics paper; not a café accreditation.
02 QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH
Backtesting.
Not bean forecasting.
Research into systematic trading, including Donchian-channel and ATR-based strategies for Nasdaq, with attention to risk, drawdown and reproducible evaluation.
The coffee is strong. Claims of guaranteed returns are not on the menu.
