About

Dr. Yunhong Duan is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics, computer vision, and intelligent aquaculture systems. Her work focuses on developing autonomous solutions for complex, dynamic environments—particularly in underwater inspection and agricultural robotics. Dr. Duan’s most impactful contribution is her comprehensive review on intelligent and unmanned equipment in aquaculture (2022), which has garnered 124 citations and serves as a foundational reference for the field. She is also recognized for DO-SLAM (2023, 34 citations), a novel semantic SLAM system that enables robust robot localization in dynamic environments by integrating object detection. In practical applications, Dr. Duan designed an intelligent control method for underwater inspection robots in netcages (2021, 27 citations), replacing dangerous manual diver inspections with a hybrid neural control strategy for safer, more efficient net monitoring. Earlier in her career, she contributed to agricultural robotics with fruit localization for strawberry harvesting (2015). Through her work, Dr. Duan has significantly advanced the deployment of autonomous systems in challenging real-world settings, improving safety and productivity in aquaculture and agriculture.
