Hi. I'm Yisha.
About Me
Sha Yi / [Yisha] / 伊 莎

My research interest centers on designing and controlling novel robotic systems.

I am a PhD student in the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University coadvised by Katia Sycara and Zeynep Temel. My research is supported by the CMU Presidential Fellowship (2020 - 2021). Prior to this, I received my MS degree from the same department with Katia Sycara. I completed my BEng in Electronics and Information Engineering at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University.

We are organizing a workshop at ICRA 2024 on Unconventional Robots: Universal Lessons for Designing Unique Systems!
