I'm Yuwei, a Ph.D. candidate in Electrical and Systems Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania, in the General Robotics, Automation, Sensing, and Perception (GRASP) Laboratory, under the supervision of Prof. Vijay Kumar. My research focuses on motion planning and trajectory optimization for mobile robots, particularly in dynamic, uncertain, and complex real-world environments. Before that, I worked as a research assistant with Prof. Fei Gao on motion planning for drones.

My research interests are:

  • (Multi-agent) Task and motion planning
  • (Learning-enabled) Trajectory generation and optimization
  • Aerial robot applications (exploration, tracking, navigation)

    • The goal of my research is to push the foundational limits of optimization problems, improve system robustness, and provide long-horizon guarantees for next-generation robots capable of making intelligent decisions.
