Hello! I’m Pengyuan Wei. I’m a PhD candidate at the University College London, in the Department of Computer Science and the Robotics Institute.

Work and Research

I am a robotics researcher with a broad background in mechanics, electronics, automation, and computer science, and a strong interest in reinforcement learning.

Keywords of research interest:

• Parallelization of acoustic levitation manipulation
• Cooperative multi-agent reinforcement learning methods for multi-robot learning
• Visual-language action model

Background and History

Before I joined UCL, I received my Bachelor’s Degree at the Beijing University of Chemical Technology in 2021, a major in Mechanical Automation; and my Master’s Degree at the University of Bristol in 2022, a major in Biorobotics.
