My name is Xun Yang 杨勋.
I am currently an M.Phil. student supervised by Prof. Junwei Liang at HKUST Guangzhou Campus. Prior to this, I obtained my B.Eng. degree from HIT Shenzhen Campus.
My research focuses on whole-body control in robots, with a particular interest in locomotion and manipulation. I aim to enable humanoid robots to perform highly dynamic movements, especially playing basketball—dribble, shoot, and layups.
Please have a look at my Demo Videos
I am actively seeking PhD position for 26 Fall intake. Feel free to contact me ~ 🙂
