Welcome

Dr. Wang's projects focus on developing robotic systems to solve real-world problems in direct support of indivisuals. Dr. Wang is an postdoctoral associate in the Marine Robotics Group (MRG) in the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), MIT since 2013, and will be an assistant professor in the Assistive Robotics Group, Electrical and Computer Engineering at National Chiao Tung University, Taiwan in Feb, 2016.
