About Me

Dr. Fangwen Yu is a researcher of brain-inspired robotics. His research currently focuses on brain-inspired navigation in neurorobotics and neuroscience. His career vision is creating brain inspired robots that navigate and adapt to changing environments as humans and animals do intelligently and efficiently for the real world.

He is currently an assistant research fellow with the Center for Brain-Inspired Computing Research (CBICR) and the Department of Precision Instrument at Tsinghua University.

His research models the neural mechanisms in the brain underlying tasks like spatial navigation and spatial memory to develop new brain-inspired general intelligent navigation (BGINAV) technologies for brain-inspired general intelligent robots (BGIBOT). He has developed the brain-inspired 3D SLAM system – NeuroSLAM and the brain-inspired general place recognition system – NeuroGPR for neurorobots. He is currently focusing on, the NeuroPNT Project, creating a brain-inspired general intelligent positioning, navigation, timing system for neurorobots.
