About

Dr. Can Yuan is a pioneering researcher in the field of autonomous service robotics, with a particular focus on high-precision positioning systems for human-robot interaction environments. His most influential work, "An autonomous restaurant service robot with high positioning accuracy" (2012), which has garnered 53 citations, represents a foundational contribution to the development of practical, commercially viable service robots. In this landmark study, Dr. Yuan designed a comprehensive robotic system capable of performing essential restaurant tasks—including order taking, food delivery, and payment settlement—while achieving exceptional positioning accuracy in dynamic, crowded settings. This work directly addressed critical challenges in autonomous navigation and localization within unstructured indoor environments, bridging the gap between laboratory prototypes and real-world deployment. Dr. Yuan's contributions have been instrumental in advancing the field of service robotics, particularly in the hospitality sector, where his designs have influenced subsequent research on robot autonomy, sensor fusion, and human-robot collaboration. His research continues to inspire engineers and researchers working to integrate intelligent robotic systems into everyday service applications.
