Entry Description

GEO-NAV is a heterogeneous dual-robot system that revolutionizes high-risk, inefficient pipeline O&M. It decouples tasks into two synergistic platforms: the RECON robot performs high-precision 3D digital twin diagnostics using AI and LiDAR, while the MODEX robot executes heavy-duty intervention with a modular, quick-change tool system. This "Recon-Execute" paradigm establishes a scientific workflow, enabling safer, data-driven predictive maintenance for urban infrastructure.

Bio

A pragmatic industrial designer focused on the synergy of logic and efficiency. I adopt an engineering-driven approach to deconstruct complex problems into their essential functional units. My design philosophy centers on balancing aesthetics with functionality, meticulously crafting every detail to deliver innovative and purposeful solutions. I am passionate about tracking technological evolution and user behavior, and I get inspired by reverse-engineering digital products to understand their core design principles.
