Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHien Bui is a Ph.D. student in robotics based in Philadelphia with nine years of hands-on experience bridging academic research and commercial robot development. Trained at Nanyang Technological University with highest distinction, Hien has worked on industrial automation, robot programming, and mechanical design—delivering solutions from precision peg-in-hole manipulation to pipeline debottlenecking in oil production. He contributed to a living legged-robot study early in his career and later helped a NTU spin-off, Eureka Robotics, translate research into market-ready systems. Now at UPenn’s DAIR and GRASP labs, he combines deep mechatronics expertise with practical experience in 6-DOF control and embedded system implementation. Colleagues describe him as equally comfortable with experimental hardware setups and the control algorithms that make them reliable in real-world settings.
