Yunxi TANG

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in robotics and artificial intelligence at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), affiliated with the Multiscale Robotics Center in Hong Kong SAR. Previously, I received my Ph.D. from the Bioinspired Robotics and Medical Technology (BMT) group at CUHK, where I worked with Prof. Samuel Au.

My research focuses on enabling robots to perceive, model, and manipulate deformable objects, with a particular emphasis on autonomous surgical systems. My work lies at the intersection of:

- Learning-based control and manipulation
- Vision-based reconstruction and perception
- Safety-aware autonomous surgical systems
- Deformable Object modeling, planning, and state estimation

I am particularly interested in bridging simulation and real-world deployment through high-fidelity simulation and digital twin technologies. My long-term goal is to build safe, reliable, and intelligent autonomous surgical systems that can operate robustly in complex, real-world environments.
