Zhanyu Guo is an electrical and electronic engineer with five years of hands-on experience bridging research and robotics software, currently pursuing graduate studies at Caltech after a BE from Southwest Jiaotong University. He is fluent in C, C++, MATLAB, and Python, and has applied those skills to motion planning and simulation work—contributing ROS planner implementations for graph-based algorithms (including D* and LPA*) used for AGV/AMR navigation. During a research assistantship at Leeds he built 3D motion and nerve-signal datasets and implemented a 3D twisting mechanism for biomechanical worm models, reflecting a knack for combining simulation, machine learning, and biological insight. Known for strong analytical thinking and independent study, he has interned on simulation and ML projects with Prof. Netta Cohen and consistently brings creative, practical solutions to novel engineering challenges.

Back-end Developer
Contributions:62 commits, 3 PRs, 148 pushes in 2 months
Contributions summary:Zhanyu primarily contributed to implementing global motion planning features, specifically focusing on integrating and implementing different graph-based planning algorithms within the ROS environment. This involved adding support for D* and LPA* planners, alongside existing A* and JPS implementations, which expanded the motion planning capabilities. The commits show the integration of new algorithms by modifying and creating C++ and Python code, as well as updating the launch files.
