Senior🎓
Top SchoolKevin Yu is a Senior System Design Engineer and PhD-trained roboticist with a decade of experience building high-level autonomy for multi-robot systems, including UGVs and UASs applied to coverage tasks and bridge inspection. He blends academic rigor from Virginia Tech with hands-on engineering roles at SuperDroid Robots and Volvo, moving from test measurement to system design for autonomous vehicles. Kevin is comfortable spanning algorithms, hardware integration, and field deployment, and often writes code for practical research prototypes—as his GitHub quip suggests, “just writing code and having fun.” Based in High Point, NC, he brings a pragmatic research-to-product mindset, capable of translating complex autonomy research into robust, testable systems for real-world industrial use.
