Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolXudong Chen is an AI/robotics-focused engineer with eight years of experience combining deep learning, motion planning, and mechatronics across industry and academia. Currently an MS EE research assistant at Columbia, he has driven data-driven trajectory prediction and robotic surgery kinematic reconstruction work while previously improving highway trajectory prediction accuracy by up to 60–70% at SAIC Motor. He interned at Symbotic building an online OMPL-based trajectory planner that outperformed offline methods in misalignment scenarios, and contributed vehicle control and estimation work for Columbia’s Formula Student EV team. Comfortable spanning research, production deployment, and hardware-integrated systems, he blends strong academic credentials from Columbia, TU Darmstadt and Tsinghua with hands-on experience in autonomous vehicles and warehouse robotics. Notably, his background includes both mechanical design (FEM and actuator integration) and end-to-end ML pipeline development, giving him a rare full-stack perspective on robot autonomy.
