Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlbert Cai is a founding mechanical engineer focused on unlocking humanoid dexterity, combining eight years of hands-on hardware and robotics experience with a startup founder’s drive in Palo Alto. He leads mechanical design and build efforts at Proception.AI after creating high-impact, cost- and size-optimized test assemblies at Cepton and directing full custom robot builds and autonomy software at Kuriosity Robotics. Comfortable across CAD, CNC, 3D printing, sensor fusion, and control algorithms, he bridges mechanical design and embedded software to deliver practical, manufacturable systems. He also has a track record of teaching and community impact—running STEM camps and organizing large-scale PPE donations—highlighting an ability to translate complex engineering into real-world outcomes. Notably, he pairs experimental physics analysis (FFT, mass-spring modeling) with rapid prototyping to iterate dexterous hardware efficiently.
