Summary
Max Hu is a roboticist with 10 years of experience building mechatronic systems and bringing robotics products from research to deployment. Currently at Vicarious AI and a teaching assistant at Carnegie Mellon, he combines hands-on C++ and MATLAB prototyping with systems integration on physical robots. His background includes developing path-planning and trajectory algorithms that halved traversal times for Omron Adept mobile robots and designing LIDAR docking and long-duration charging systems for small autonomous fleets at SUTD. Summa cum laude from SUTD and an M.S. in Robotic Systems Development from CMU, he excels at translating academic results into fielded solutions and coordinating multi-stakeholder projects. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, he focuses on practical, product-oriented robotics that scale to consumer and enterprise use cases. An understated strength is his track record of improving end-to-end system uptime and performance through tight coupling of control, sensing, and energy solutions.
