Summary
🤩
RockstarPeng Lu is an assistant professor and researcher with nine years of experience bridging robotics, control theory, and scalable backend systems. Based in Hong Kong, he leads work at ArcLab after academic roles across TU Delft, ETH Zurich and HK Polytechnic, focusing on flight control, fault-tolerant systems and vision-based control for aerial robots. He pairs deep theoretical expertise (PhD-level research in sensor fault detection and nonlinear control) with hands-on software engineering, contributing bug fixes and robustness improvements to major open-source projects like Apache HBase and Ambari. That blend of robotics research and production-grade back-end/database work reflects a practical commitment to making code and systems run reliably across many machines and environments.
