About

This is the homepage of Zeshui Li. My research interests are Wireless Sensing and Haptics. Welcome to share your questions and ideas with me (zeshuili@cityu.edu.hk).

I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at MEI Lab, supervised by Professor Kening Zhu. I received my Ph.D. from Nanjing University, where I was supervised by Professor Guihai Chen and Professor Haipeng Dai. During my doctoral studies, I also collaborated extensively with Professor Wei Wang. Earlier in my career, from 2011 to 2014, I was a member of XiaoMing-Lab.

My Hobby

Self balancing robot

I'm trying to combine such robot with smartphones to build a mobile platform for smart sensing.

See my self balancing robot at youtube.

Acoustic sensing

Acoustic sensing in robot arm control.

MicroPython

MicroPython based on hardware platform such as Pyboard, Microbit, ESP8266 and ESP32. A NeoPixel led ring drived by ESP8266 is shown below.

CNC machine

I have a personal CNC machine, which effectively meets the needs of my DIY projects.

3D printer

The 3D printer could help me make mechanical parts for the self-balancing robots and toys for my children.
