Yoo Hsiu Yeh, Research Engineer
Areas of Interest: small unmanned land and air vehicles, controls design Education B.S. 2006, Electrical Engineering, Stanford University Overview: Yoo-Hsiu Yeh is a Research Engineer working in collaboration with the NASA Ames Exploration Aerial Vehicle (EAV) lab, as part of the Adaptive Controls and Evolvable Systems (ACES) Group. As part of this innovative lab, she has developed software, hardware, CAD models, and control systems for small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and autonomous Micro Rovers, namely the Exploration Aerial Vehicle (EAV) and Mobile Autonomous Explorer (MAX). She has also been involved in several side projects, including small sailboat autonomous control and A* path planning. Using these platforms, she has been involved in multiple controls research projects at NASA Ames, including Polymorphic Control Systems (PCS), Trajectory Linearized Controller (TLC), Integrated Resilient Aircraft Control (IRAC), and, currently, Payload Directed Flight (PDF). For Payload Directed Flight, a collaboration with the US Geological Survey, she is developing software, integrating and testing hardware, and helping set up and carry out a series of autonomous aerial surveys. Yoo-Hsiu holds a Bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering with a focus on Controls from Stanford University. Prior to NASA, she did undergraduate research with the Pease Group at Stanford. She is a member of the IEEE and AIAA. |
