Andong Yang

Hi there! I am a postdoctoral researcher developing multi-robot systems to solve problems that cannot be addressed by a single robot.


Thank you for your interest! I am a postdoctoral researcher at Tsinghua University, working with Professor Lu Fang and Professor Chao Gao. I received my PhD from the Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, where I was jointly supervised by Professor Yu Hu and Professor Wei Li. I enjoy building new robots and exploring algorithms that make them more capable and intelligent. My research involves physical intelligence, decentralized coordination, and motion planning in multi-robot systems.
