Hello, I'm Boxuan Ye

Working Experiences

Robotics · AI · Design Engineering

My work sits at the intersection of robot navigation, manipulation, and perception. I build systems that understand objects, predict human motion, and come with guarantees about how they behave. Recent work spans a certified safety layer for quadrotors flying near pedestrians (Imperial, with Dr David Boyle), humanoid teleoperation and vision–language–action deployment at Midea Group, and embodied-intelligence research at KUKA Robotics.

• 🛸 Certified safe go-around navigation for UAVs in dynamic crowds
• 🤖 Mixed-reality teleoperation & π0.5 VLA policies for humanoid robots
• 👁️ Open-vocabulary 6D pose estimation pipelines

Interfaces

Soft technology & calm tools

I’m interested in how technical systems can feel gentle—how robotics, sensing, and datasets can be shaped as quiet, legible tools rather than noisy complexity. My work often focuses on interaction behaviours: micro-feedback, spatial clarity, and the visual organisation of diagrams and control surfaces.

I prototype with a mixture of embedded controllers, RGB-D cameras, motion sensors, and computational pipelines, supported by clean editorial UI layers for debugging, teleoperation, and documentation.

Education Background

Robotics, interaction, soft infrastructures

My ongoing work moves between engineering and narrative systems, exploring how tools can be designed with clarity, emotional distance, and precision—similar to the logic of editorial design.

Research Interests

A living archive

I maintain a small archive of experiments, diagrams, code notes, dataset runs, and speculative sketches—updated whenever a result feels worth capturing.
