Yang Xu
Postdoc Research Fellow, ZJU Homepage(CN)
Brief bio
I am currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Zhejiang University, China. I received my D. Eng. degree at Zhejiang University (2023) under the supervision of Prof. Meiqin Liu and Prof. Ronghao Zheng. I was also a visiting Ph.D. student with the Robotics Institute, University of Technology Sydney (UTS) supervised by Prof. Shoudong Huang and Dr. Liang Zhao.
Research interests
My research interests include active SLAM, autonomous exploration, informative path planning, and robot learning in robotics. My current research projects mainly focus on learning-based robot exploration in hazardous and complex environments using ground robots.
