Dong Yang

Dong Yang is a Researcher and PhD candidate at the Chair of Media Technology, Technical University of Munich (TUM), since October 2021. His work bridges Computer Vision, Machine Learning, and Robotics to advance haptic teleoperation systems.

• B.Eng in Electrical Engineering and Automation (Fuzhou University, China)
• B.Sc in Electrical Engineering and Information (Technical University of Kaiserslautern, Germany)
• M.Sc in Electrical Engineering and Information (TUM, Germany)

Research focuses on haptic communication, teleoperation, and scene understanding for robots. Key contributions include:

• Developing SRI-Graph for scene-robot interaction
• Creating ISSC for semantic shared control
• Advancing depth estimation in adverse weather
• Designing HPF-SLAM for visual navigation

His publications span top conferences like ICRA, IROS, and RO-MAN, addressing topics in haptic teleoperation, sensor fusion, and collaborative robotics.

• Supervises thesis projects including Diffusion Model-based Imitation Learning and Scene Graph-based Real-time Scene Understanding
• Collaborates on projects like Centre for Tactile Internet with Human-in-the-Loop (CeTI) and Teleoperation over 5G
