Seeking truth for good: A Group of DKUers’ “Unmanned Driving” Journey

At Duke Kunshan University, Tianyi Zhang is a 2024 master’s student in Medical Physics, who majored in Electronic Information Engineering as an undergraduate and participated in DJI product development. Meanwhile, Renzo Balcazar Tapia is a 2025 undergraduate student in Data Science who comes from Peru, with research interests in algorithms and has won numerous awards in International Mathematical Olympiads. On the journey of learning and life, they were originally two clearly demarcated parallel lines. However, the college innovation and entrepreneurship project “Research on Autonomous Localization and Navigation Technology Algorithm of Robot” has brought these two parallel lines together, embarking on a road of scientific research.
