About Me

Hello! I'm Tianyi! I am in the fourth semester of my MSc Robotics, Systems, and Control course at ETH Zurich. Currently, I am working on my Masters' Thesis at the Computer Vision and Geometry Lab (CVG) at ETHz, working on large-scale Pose Graph Optimization.

I graduated from a three-year BEng Electronic and Information Engineering (for the rest of the world, Computer Engineering) course at Imperial College London with first-class honours.

I am passionate about robotics — the union of computing, mathematics, electrical and mechanical engineering and more.

Skills

I am fluent in Python and C++. From various projects, internships and coursework, I also have experience in ROS(2), Fusion 360, and MATLAB.

I'm currently working on

• Master's Thesis on pose-graph optimization
• Preparing to compete at the 2024 F1TENTH Autonomous Grand Prix with ForzaETH

Recent highlights

• Helping to develop perception for L4 autonomous trucks with Embotech as part of the Safety, Systems, and Engineering team.
• Competing in the 2023 F1TENTH Autonomous Grand Prix with the ForzaETH team. We managed to win first place!
• A Monocular Visual Odometry (VO) pipeline with elements from OpenCV, built in Python. This was coursework for the Vision Algorithms for Mobile Robotics course at UZH.
• A path planner for autonomous cars using the RRTx algorithm. This was coursework for the Planning and Decision-Making for Autonomous Robots course at ETH. Check it out here.
• My Final Year Project at Imperial College on Multi-Robot path planning using a variation of the Dynamic Window Approach. The algorithms are written in Python and simulated in ROS/Gazebo. Check it out here!
• I was also involved in Imperial's Formula Student Artificial Intelligence competition where we hope to get our vehicle to autonomously detect and drive around a closed circuit demarcated by cones. Check out the organization on LinkedIn and GitHub.
