Embedded Systems Intern

Shenzhen WildNovate Technology Co., Ltd.

Key work

  • Developed UART/RS485, CAN, and PWM/PPM control links on GD32F470/GD32H737 with FreeRTOS.
  • Designed timeout detection, recovery, state reporting, and protection for communication faults, actuator disconnections, and supply fluctuations.
  • Checked communication timing with oscilloscopes and logic analyzers; communication drivers and related modules passed extended stress tests lasting about 1–2 days. Contributed to basic motion control and system integration.
  • During integration, identified priority inversion between communication and logging tasks, and prolonged blocking caused by an unreleased buffer mutex. The final approach avoided the problem through architectural changes.

Research interests

Research interests & current work

I am interested in robot motion control and the application of learning methods, including reinforcement learning, to physical robots. My manipulator, chassis power-control, and bipedal projects inform these interests.

About me

I first encountered RoboMaster at the team’s recruiting booth during my freshman year, which led me into embedded systems and robotics control. With unfamiliar problems, I prefer to break them down, research, and test independently first; when I reach the edge of my experience, I ask senior teammates with the approaches I have already tried. Later, as embedded team lead, I began passing that experience on through training, code review, and everyday discussions with junior members.
