About

I am Hsiu-Fang, in Mandarin 秀芳, and pronounced like [Shiòu-Fāng].

I am from Taiwan. I love my homeland. It is a beautiful land full of mountains, sitting on the west of the Pacific. After living in France, Germany and Finland, I am now rooted in Stockholm, Sweden. I am obsessed with the Swedish archipelagos. I love bouldering, camping, saunas, hiking… so if you have any good spots for the above, please feel free to share. I also love reading. I think it is the best way to cheat, to know beyond the life I am living in. I love poetry and novels.

I am a Founding Engineer at 120ft Factory. Our mission is to build microfactories with shipping containers and robots for assembly. The goal is to bring assembly lines back to Europe. I am a robotics hardware and mechatronics engineer. I always love to stand at the intersection of disciplines, which is what makes robotics intriguing to me. The “new” of robotics brings countless open-ended questions and always draws me in. I am a little worried about the fast-changing world with the development of AI. I wish to build robots that give good to the world instead of taking away. I believe we have to be aware and conscious about technological progress, though it is often so overwhelmingly fast.

I believe one always has things to work on, and they are usually the simplest things in life. That being said, I am also finding the balance between keeping on working and being satisfied with what I have achieved.

I might look a little shy, but I am very happy to be reached, so please feel free!
