I am currently the Product Designer and UI Engineer at Futronics, a leader in healthcare robotics specializing in integrating advanced robotic technologies to improve patient care, optimize supply logistics, and revolutionize rehabilitation processes.
In my role, I design user interfaces and develop product-level GUI applications using the Unity engine for our innovative rehabilitation robots. I lead the GUI application development and the design of two product lines: a tabletop upper limb rehab robot and a three-dimensional upper limb rehab robot. One has reached production level and both have been patented, reflecting our dedication to transforming healthcare through cutting-edge technology.
I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my colleagues at Futronics for their invaluable support and collaboration. Their expertise and dedication have not only enhanced our projects but have also greatly enriched my professional journey. I feel lucky to have them.
Special thanks to: Baiyu Wang, Chengkun Zhang, Frank Du, Fulan Li, Haocheng Zhang, Olivia Zhao, Shixun Chen, Tian Tian, Wenda Xu, Yunfei Guo, Zhipeng Liu, and Zoe Zhang.
