Robotics Engineering
Eric Chow · Robotics engineering
From mechanisms
to working robots.
I build robotic systems across mechanical hardware, embedded devices and control software—from early prototypes to field deployment and operator tools.

Across the system
System integration
ROS2 architectures, sensor and actuator interfaces, distributed communications.
Operation & monitoring
Workflow sequencing, operator interfaces, telemetry and field troubleshooting.
Mechanical engineering
Robot structures, end effectors, prototyping and design for manufacture.
Embedded controls
Microcontroller firmware, custom electronics, motor control and sensor feedback.
Currently a Technical Engineer at Mega Precision Technology (Dongguan) Limited. My work there has included early-stage humanoid robotics R&D, spanning technical evaluation, mechanical concepts and prototype integration. Previously, I was lead engineer on a suspended painting robot at C3 Construction Robotics.
Selected work
Engineering in practice
2024 – 2026
Autonomous Suspended Painting Robot
Suspended robot development spanning mechanical design, ROS2 controls, and operator tooling for a field-deployed coating system.
2022 – 2024
Cable-Suspended Robot for Deep-Foundation Cleaning & Inspection
Patented cable-suspended robotic prototype developed for deep-foundation cleaning and inspection. Co-inventor, US Patent 12,398,527 B2.
2026 – Present
Adaptive AI Study Coach
LLM-based study coach with adaptive review, a Discord and browser interface, and a knowledge graph built around prompt-driven teaching logic.
2021 – 2022
Expandable-Wheelbase Mobile Robot
MSc project — a four-wheel independently-steered mobile platform with a linear extending mechanism for adjustable wheelbase and tilt control, completed in under 3 months from home during a void period.
2021
Custom-Designed FDM 3D Printer
Designed and built an FDM 3D printer from scratch — CAD, frame, electronics, and firmware. A personal project that kicked off my interest in building things beyond pure mechanical design.
2018
Electric Vehicle Prototype
Undergraduate team EV prototype built to improve cornering with two active rear wheels, steering-angle sensing, and mechanically integrated vehicle redesign.
