Hello!
I'm Edward Lee
ABOUT
I'm a Mechatronics and Controls masters student at UC San Diego who is passionate about applying control theory and system integration from robotics to reliable energy and automation systems. My projects include a closed-loop in-pipe robot, an autonomous ticketing agent using ROS2 and computer vision, and a 5-DoF robotic arm validated with FEA and experimental testing. Outside the lab, I enjoy 3D printing, folding origami cranes, and playing tennis.
EXPERIENCE
Aug 2025 - Current
ARC Lab
Graduate Research Assistant
I designed and prototyped robotic mechanisms for shoulder biomechanics and led the integration of BLDC motor controls using ODrive Pro and CAN bus.
Feb 2025 - Jun 2025
NIWC Pacific
Capstone Project Intern
I led the design, fabrication, and testing of a pipe-riding robot, and developed the controls algorithm for its fixture that guided motion inside the pipe.
Jul 2023 - May 2024
Perrybotics VEX U
Co-Founder
I co-led the manufacturing, assembly, and programming of our two robots for the VEX University Robotics Competition.
Dec 2025 - Jan 2026
Matic Robots
Robot Production Intern
I assembled 720+ electromechanical subsystems, executing functional testing to diagnose defects, analyze root causes, and reduce the full production cycle by 10%.
