Wenzhi Bai

I am a Ph.D. student in Robotics at the University of Manchester (UoM), supervised by Dr. Zhenhong Li, Prof. Andrew Weightman, and Prof. Zhengtao Ding. Before starting my Ph.D. in 2024, I gained several years of industry experience in autonomous mobile robotics, focusing on SLAM research at LDROBOT and BAIDU Apollo since 2017. I hold a B.Eng. in Mechanical Design, Manufacturing and Automation (2014) and an M.Eng. in Mechatronics Engineering (2017), both from the Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST), China.

My research interests span autonomous systems, particularly sensor fusion, state estimation, and 3D reconstruction. Recently, my work has focused on perception and manipulation of deformable objects, with applications in medical robotics.
