Bo Shang

I am an upcoming Research Scientist in Civil Engineering at CUNY City College, affiliated with the AI & Mobility Research Lab. My work bridges robotics, control systems, and machine learning, with applications in traffic monitoring and automated bridge inspection. Full CV

Research Focus

My research advances agentic AI and robotics for transportation systems, emphasizing:

• Human-Robot Close Proximity Interaction (HRCPI)
• Crowd-Robot Flow Optimization
• Traffic-inspired protocols for safe, socially-aware navigation

Current topics include:

• Autonomous robotic decision-making
• Drone-based crack detection and measurement
• Bridge Inspection Robot Deployment Systems (BIRDS)
• UAS for infrastructure inspection
• Sensing for vulnerable road user monitoring
• Data analytics for structural health monitoring
