Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolZhan-peng Yang is a PhD researcher in aerospace engineering specializing in vision-based localization and tracking of unmanned aerial systems, currently based at TU Delft after a research-focused tenure at Purdue. With eight years of experience spanning UAV control, swarm trajectory planning, and real-world test-facility operations, he blends rigorous academic methods with hands-on system deployment. He has applied optimization tools like CasADi and implemented controllers on PX4, and more recently built MPC and low-latency teleoperation capabilities for mobile manipulators and diffusion-policy-driven manipulation demos. Comfortable at the intersection of robotics, flight dynamics, and embodied AI, he brings practical lab-to-field experience and a knack for turning vision-based research into operational systems.
