Hongkai YE (叶鸿凯)
Hello there, I am Kyle, currently a Ph.D candidate at ZJU Fast Lab, supervised by Prof. Fei Gao and Prof. Chao Xu. During these years, I have been developing motion planning methods for robot autonomous navigation, mostly for UAVs.
I received my Bachelor’s Degree of Automation at College of Control Science and Engineering (CSE), Zhejiang University (ZJU) in 2017. I then started my master’s program and a successive doctoral program in 2020, also in CSE, ZJU. I once worked as an intern at Autowise.ai (2019) and at DJI in the navigation group (2020).
