Yixiao (Caleb) Feng

Hi there! I am Yixiao Feng. I am a first-year Ph.D. student at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou), supervised by Prof. Renjing Xu. Previously, I received my M.EngSc degree in Robotics at University of New South Wales (UNSW) in 2025, supervised by Dr. Jose Guivant, and B.Eng. degree at Beijing University of Chemical Technology (BUCT) in 2022.

My current research interest lies in Humanoid Robots 🤖, particularly Whole-body Control 🏂 and Perception 📸. I aim to integrate them so that humanoid robots can understand the world and do things like humans.

If you are interested in collaborating or discussing any topics related to robotics, feel free to reach me out!
