Xiyang Yeh

Xiyang Yeh is the Chief Technology Officer of Flexiv Robotics Ltd. Xiyang has over four years of experience in designing and developing robotic systems. Their work includes the development of a hierarchical control framework for robotic systems, the design of optimization-based reactive controllers and planners for reactive multi-arm manipulation, and the design of a software framework for advanced pHRI and teleoperation. Xiyang has also worked on building up safe, interactive and adaptive robotic behaviors into the otherwise rigid industrial systems. Prior to joining Flexiv, they were a Research Engineer at the Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology where they worked on the control and path planning for robotic arms for operational space force/motion tracking, designed motion controllers for multi-dof systems, and designed cable-driven hyper-redundant robots for inspection of confined spaces. Xiyang has also implemented and deployed workcells for force-controlled propeller finishing and has experience in digital logic design and implementation of parallel computation using FPGAs of robot's equations of motion.

Xiyang Yeh completed their Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) at Stanford University in 2017. Their field of study was Mechanical Engineering and their thesis was titled "Development of an Underwater Humanoid Robotic Diver".
