About

Yuebin Yang is a researcher focused on intelligent sensing systems for human-robot interaction and indoor localization. His work centers on developing lightweight, robust sensor technologies—particularly pyroelectric infrared (PIR) arrays and smart fiber floors—to detect and track human motion without relying on heavy computational or camera-based systems. Yang’s major contributions include the optimal design of infrared motion sensing systems using divide-and-conquer genetic algorithms, enabling efficient sensor placement for human-following robots. He also pioneered a compressed infrared sensing approach that uses bearing-sensitive PIR arrays to localize moving targets with minimal hardware. His proof-of-concept smart fiber floor, which creates pressure distribution maps for indoor target localization, demonstrates his versatility in sensor fusion. With his most-cited papers accumulating 9, 7, and 7 citations respectively, Yang’s work has laid foundational groundwork for low-cost, privacy-preserving motion tracking. His research is particularly notable for balancing algorithmic innovation with practical, deployable hardware—a key consideration for real-world robotics and smart environments.
