Zhuo Chen

I am a Software Engineer at Amazon (Fuse) and a Robotics researcher. I graduated with a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering (Robotics) from Stevens Institute of Technology in 2021 under the supervision of Prof. Yi Guo. Prior to my Ph.D., I received my M.S. in Control Engineering from Harbin Institute of Technology in 2015, and my B.E. in Automation from Zhengzhou University in 2013.

My professional experience spans distributed systems, cloud computing, developer tools automation, and robotics:

• At Amazon FuseA partner marketing channel that acquires incremental Amazon customers globally via third-party partnerships to distribute subscription services including Prime, Prime Video, Amazon Music, and Kindle. , I helped build the distributed systems software that drives $100+ million in annual subscription revenue from 10+ million active paid members across over 40 countries.
• At Amazon Robotics AIAmazon Robotics AI (RAI) was a premier R&D division founded in 2018 by Prof. Siddhartha Srinivasa, leading a team of ~400 researchers and engineers globally to invent and deploy advanced robotic manipulation and AI systems in fulfillment centers. The organization was restructured in late 2022. , I built synchronous PLC-gRPC communication mechanisms and coordinated parallel item-handling routines for robotic workcells.
• At SeedlandSeedland's Robotics division developed and deployed its first autonomous monitoring and inspection robot for smart communities. This advanced AGV system traversed environments autonomously, captured high-fidelity image and point cloud data, and built accurate 3D models. View the announcement and video demo posted by Dr. Hui Cheng on LinkedIn. , I worked on autonomous viewpoint planning and SE(3) camera path generation for 3D mapping and reconstruction robots.

My academic research focused on autonomous mobile robots, wearable sensor fusion, gait monitoring, and multi-robot formation control.
