About
Ya-Hsiu Hsieh is a leading researcher in autonomous systems, with a primary focus on AI-driven navigation for surface vehicles. Her work bridges the gap between small-scale robotic platforms and real-world maritime autonomy. Her most cited paper, "Team NCTU: Toward AI-Driving for Autonomous Surface Vehicles -- From Duckietown to RobotX" (2019, 5 citations), details the development of robust software and hardware systems for autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs), building on prior RobotX Challenges from 2014 and 2016. Hsieh’s major contribution lies in translating algorithms from controlled environments like Duckietown to complex, open-water scenarios, addressing critical tasks such as obstacle avoidance and autonomous docking. This work has advanced the practical deployment of ASVs in transportation, military, and ocean research. Her achievements include leading Team NCTU in competitive robotics, demonstrating scalable AI solutions that enhance vehicle autonomy in unstructured environments. With a growing citation impact, Hsieh continues to shape the future of autonomous maritime systems, inspiring students and researchers to explore the intersection of robotics, AI, and real-world navigation.
