Top SchoolAllan Wang is a postdoctoral researcher at the Miraikan Accessibility Lab in Tokyo and a PhD graduate of Carnegie Mellon’s Robotics Institute, bringing 11 years of experience at the intersection of robotics, perception, human–robot interaction, and machine learning. He focuses on social navigation—designing models and tools that enable robots to move safely and efficiently in pedestrian-rich environments while respecting implicit social norms. His work blends rigorous academic research with practical system-building, informed by training in mechanical engineering and robotics. Based in Pittsburgh, Allan leverages cross-cultural research settings and accessibility-driven goals, aiming to make autonomous systems more socially aware and broadly useful.
