I am Shuqi (Suky) Wang, a PhD student in the
School of Automation and Intelligent Sensing,
Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU),
advised by Prof. Xiang Yin in the CPS group.
I work on safety control theory for AI-embedded cyber-physical systems, with a particular
focus on using conformal prediction as a safety interface between
learning-based perception/decision modules and physical control loops.

Prior to my PhD, I earned my bachelor's degree in Artificial Intelligence (Robotics) Honored Class from
SJTU. I have also worked at the National University of Singapore (NUS)AI4SG Lab with Prof. Yi-Chieh (EJ) Lee.
Research Interests:
Conformal Safety Interfaces.
Wrapping black-box AI modules (VLMs, neural predictors, learned dynamics) with
distribution-free, finite-sample guarantees, and propagating these guarantees
through planning and control layers for end-to-end safety.
Uncertainty-Aware Learning-Based Control.
Chance-constrained neural MPC, sampling-based control (MPPI) with
information-theoretic guarantees, and formal diagnosability of
discrete-event systems under statistical uncertainty.
If you are interested in research collaboration, feel free to
contact me.
CoSMO: Conformal Semantic Mapping for Open-World Safe Robot Navigation
Conformal semantic mapping turns vision-language embeddings into calibrated
safety maps for open-world robot navigation, adapting to new hazards and
distribution shifts with delayed expert feedback.

#About Me
In Isaac Asimov's Robots and Empire, the Spacers fell not because they used robots,
but because they used robots to avoid becoming pioneers themselves. This story has stayed
with me. I hope to contribute, even in small ways, to a future in which humans use robots
not merely to preserve comfort, but to better understand robots, the world, and ourselves.
Human–robot cooperation should help us move safely beyond our local optima, rather than
trapping us inside them.
