Xinyi Wang

I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Distributed Autonomous Systems and Control (DASC) Lab at the University of Michigan (UMich), led by Prof. Dimitra Panagou. Prior to this, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Unmanned Systems Research (USR) Group at Hong Kong Centre For Logistics Robotics (HKCLR), and an Honorary Postdoctoral Researcher at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) in 2023. I received my Ph.D. degree from the Department of Mechanical and Automation Engineering at CUHK in 2023, where I was advised by Professor Ben M. Chen.

My research advances trustworthy robot autonomy by combining the learning method with the formal guarantees of control theory. Research Interests: Safety-critical Control, Reinforcement Learning, Multi-robot Task and Motion Planning, Generative Models for Robotics.
