Robotics & control engineering

I build systems that help machines perceive, decide & move.

I’m Kyaw Hein Tun, a robotics system development engineer focused on modern control, autonomous systems, and practical robot software.

Navigating a changing career journey A path moves through mechatronics at YTU, robotics in Japan, and Munich at TUM, navigating around uncertainty, change, and constraints toward a future goal.

GUIDING IDEAS

Ideas I return to.

We can only see a short distance ahead, but we can see plenty there that needs to be done.

Alan Turing ↗ Computing Machinery and Intelligence · 1950

I was taught that the way of progress was neither swift nor easy.

Marie Curie ↗ A life devoted to scientific discovery

01 / SELECTED WORK

Engineering through experimentation.

Selected research, professional, and open-source work across autonomous navigation, perception, control, and robotic manipulation.

PROJECT / 01

Robotic Calligraphy

A ROS 2 robotic calligraphy system that converts Burmese, English, and Japanese characters into ordered robot trajectories using OpenCV, with pen-lift motion, KUKA-style IK tracking, and RViz visualization.

03 / ABOUT

Curiosity, translated into motion.

I’m a mechatronics engineer interested in making complex robotic behavior reliable, understandable, and useful.

My path spans hands-on maintenance, mechanical design, control engineering, and robotics software. That range helps me think about the complete system—not only the code.
