From first prototype to real-world testing.
01 / ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Winson (Jingrui) Zhang.
I’m interested in mechanical engineering and robotics, especially how machines respond to the environments around them.
My work spans amphibious robots, automated book returns, field testing, and geometric control. I like following a problem across disciplines, from a CAD model to a circuit, a control loop, and a working prototype.
“Real machines lose to their environment first, not to their math.”Reflection from my amphibious drone project
