About

Bryanna Yeh is a robotics researcher whose work bridges autonomous aerial systems, human-robot teaming, and perception-driven mission execution. Her most cited paper, "Autonomous Grasping Robotic Aerial System for Perching (AGRASP)" (2018, 57 citations), introduces a novel integration of vision-based path planning and biomimetically-inspired manipulation for lightweight multirotor vehicles, enabling autonomous perching—a key capability for persistent aerial observation and energy-efficient operations. In "Adaptive human-robot teaming through integrated symbolic and subsymbolic artificial intelligence" (2022, 7 citations), Yeh addresses the critical challenge of maintaining human trust and control over increasingly autonomous machines by developing AI architectures that make machine plans transparent and understandable to human teammates. Her work "An integrated perception pipeline for robot mission execution in unstructured environments" (2020, 6 citations) advances visual perception as core technology for safe task execution in complex, unstructured settings, developed under the Robotics Collaborative Technology Alliance (RCTA). Yeh’s research stands at the intersection of aerial manipulation, cognitive robotics, and human-autonomy interaction, offering practical solutions for deploying robots in real-world environments where adaptability, trust, and perception are paramount.
