Summary
Cherry Cheung is a Senior Robotics Software Engineer based in San Francisco with 11 years of experience building path planning, collision avoidance, and simulation systems for drones and robotic platforms. Trained in aerospace engineering (MSc/BSc, TU Delft), she combines strong C/C++ and Python skills with ROS, Gazebo and Unreal Engine to deliver robust on-board flight software and realistic simulators. At Nightingale Security she led A*-based planner development and mapping/localization work, and at Dusty Robotics she now guides production robotics efforts while mentoring interns. Her background in vehicle dynamics and human-in-the-loop simulator research (Nissan internship) gives her extra insight into integrating control, perception and operator behavior for safer autonomy.
