Summary
Wu Xiong is a pragmatic control engineer with 10 years of experience designing autopilot and robotic systems, currently advancing perception-to-actuation solutions at WeRide.ai in San Jose. He brings deep expertise in system modeling, linear and adaptive control, state estimation, and GPS/INS navigation, with hands-on work in sensor signal processing, driver development, and multicopter control. Prior roles at Autel Robotics and IntelinAir show a track record of implementing adaptive attitude controllers, building 6-DOF GNC simulation frameworks, and creating engineering infrastructure from HIL labs to CI workflows. Comfortable moving between MATLAB/Simulink analysis and firmware-level UART protocols, he blends theoretical rigor with practical flight-test validation. Collected across aerospace degrees from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Illinois Urbana-Champaign, his profile reflects a rare combination of academic grounding and product-focused delivery in autonomous flight.
