Zewen Yang

I am a Senior Research Scientist at Agile Robots in Munich, working on agentic frameworks and world models for robotic manipulation.

Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Munich Institute of Robotics and Machine Intelligence (MIRMI), supervised by Prof. Sami Haddadin and Dr. Hamid Sadeghian. Before that, in the aftermath of the pandemic, I joined the Robert Koch Institute as a postdoctoral researcher, working on AI for public health research. I did my Ph.D. research in Control Science & Engineering at the Technical University of Munich and Harbin Engineering University, where I was supervised by Prof. Sandra Hirche and Prof. Zheping Yan and worked closely with Dr. Stefan Sosnowski.

My work lies at the intersection of Machine Learning and Robotics, driven by a strong interest in machine intelligence and the emerging technologies that make everyday life better and work more efficient. I enjoy moving between building methods that hold up in the real world and exploring the deeper scientific questions behind them. I also care deeply about education and research, and find it especially rewarding to work alongside passionate people and ambitious students, growing together with them.

I am always glad to connect with others who share these interests, whether for collaboration, projects, research, or simply a good conversation. Feel free to reach out.
