Zhenchen (Antonio) DONG 董振晨

I am a Ph.D. student at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, advised by Prof. Hongyu Yu. I received my bachelor's degree from the School of Mechatronics Engineering at Harbin Institute of Technology.

My research focuses on robotic manipulation in highly dynamic environments, with policies running directly on onboard edge chips. We are also working on some exciting space robotics projects.

My dream is training large neural nets on massive amounts of robot data.

I was a starting player in the Floorball Asia Cup. Away from robotics, I am also a skilled mahjong and card-game player.
