Hello, I’m Benjamin
Chi-Hsuan Sung / 宋其軒
Code meets
the real world.
I build systems that sense, understand,
and interact with the world around us.

Taiwan → Hawaiʻi
An independently prepared proposal became a learning journey—from NMMBA preparation in Taiwan to HIMB on Moku o Loʻe.
Coastlines: Natural Earth · Illustrative journey, not a flight itinerary. Island marker enlarged for visibility.
NMMBA → HIMB
Coral identification, nursery care and environmental observation. Learning methods in context—not claiming original research findings.
Below the surface
Diving with a friend and earning PADI Open Water certification added another way to experience the marine environment.
Hawaii Conservation Conference
Lectures and conservation organizations connected field learning with the people working to protect these ecosystems.

Independent computer vision
Real aquarium footage. Eight classes. A model improved by looking carefully at its errors.
Compare / Drag the divider
Move the divider to compare the baseline and adapted model. This is a qualitative example, not the frozen evaluation set.
Same frame, 00:10. Qualitative comparison—not the frozen evaluation set.
Final frozen validation
60 manually annotated frames · 428 ground-truth boxes. Tracking and live deployment remain exploratory.
03 / 05
Independent development platform
A 24V differential-drive platform I assembled to connect computation, electronics and control.
Inside the system
STM32 motor control meets Jetson Orin Nano Super and ROS 2 Humble. Each layer has to work with the next.
Current state / Next steps
Assembled and joystick-controlled. Sensor integration and advanced autonomy are still in development.
04 / 05
Reaper 23083Z / Team engineering
Shared robots. Shared problem-solving. Working together from the workshop to the competition field.
Build → Test → Repeat
Mechanisms, code and teamwork develop through repeated tests, repairs and redesign.
My contribution
C++ / PROS, programming, debugging, mechanism ideas, and PID / odometry testing. The robot and its awards belong to the team.
05 / 05
Team leadership / Practical questions
From demonstrating fluid pressure to exploring microplastic separation and computer vision.
Two ideas / Learning by building
Heron’s Fountain explores fluid pressure; the centrifugal concept explores separation. These are student prototypes and early design proposals.
The early fountain poster’s “perpetual machine / hydroelectricity” wording is not a validated result. The demonstration is pressure-driven.
3-Minute Science / Team achievement
Our team became national champions, receiving the Gold Award in the 3-Minute Science Competition.
06 / Beyond the workbench
Badminton captain. SDG team leader.
Still learning how to make
a team better.
07 / Keep the conversation going
Let’s build
