Yuhang Zhong - 钟宇航

I am an incoming PhD student at HKUST, where I will be co-advised by Prof. Jie Song and Prof. Ping Tan. Previously, I received my master's degree from FAST-Lab at Zhejiang University, under the supervision of Prof. Fei Gao. I earned my Bachelor of Engineering in Intelligent Science and Technology from Nankai University, where I was advised by Prof. Xiao Liang.


Research Interests

My research focuses on developing intelligent and reliable robotic systems that can better understand human intentions and translate them into effective actions in the physical world. In particular, I am interested in combining trajectory optimization and generative models to build adaptive robotic systems for real-world applications. This direction has also led me to recently explore onboard humanoid-object interaction, which I view as a coupled problem involving high-level interactive motion planning and low-level general tracking.
