Yixiao (Caleb) Feng

Hi there! I am Yixiao Feng. I am a first-year Ph.D. student at Humanoid Computing Lab, 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. Prior to that, I obtained my B.Eng. degree from Beijing University of Chemical Technology (BUCT).

My current research interest lies in Embodied AI, encompassing Humanoid Whole-body Control 🤺, Dexterous Hand 🦾 and Teleoperation 🔗.

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