About Yuxuan Yang
I am a Ph.D. student at the Adaptive and Interpretable Learning Systems Lab.
My research interests lie in machine learning and robotics. In particular, I am interested in improving robot manipulation performance regarding deformable objects. I worked on designing a learning-based dynamics model for deformable linear objects so that a robot can manipulate the objects using model-based control methods. I am currently working on solving the problem of tracking deformable linear objects, which allows the robot to understand the scenario and improves the robustness in manipulation.
