Robotics Appoints AI and Machine Learning Expert Dr. Ang Li as Chief Technology Officer
NEW
YORK – October 1, 2026 – AMC Robotics Corporation (Nasdaq: AMCI) (“AMC Robotics” or the “Company”),
an AI-driven robotics solutions provider, today announced the appointment of Dr. Ang Li as Chief Technology Officer. Dr. Li will lead
the Company’s technology strategy and AI roadmap, with a focus on advancing autonomous intelligence, AI-powered perception, and
edge computing capabilities across the Company’s robotics platforms.
The
appointment marks an important step in AMC Robotics’ strategy to build increasingly intelligent and autonomous robotic systems
for real-world environments. Drawing on Dr. Li’s expertise in edge AI, distributed machine learning, and embodied intelligence,
the Company plans to strengthen the integration of advanced AI models with its robotic hardware and accelerate the translation of emerging
AI technologies into scalable commercial robotics applications.
Dr.
Li is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Maryland, College Park, where
he will continue in his academic role while serving as Chief Technology Officer of AMC Robotics. Prior to joining the University of Maryland
in August 2023, Dr. Li served as a Research Associate at Qualcomm AI Research and previously conducted research at Alibaba DAMO Academy.
His research spans edge AI, distributed and federated learning, efficient AI systems, and embodied intelligence, with a particular focus
on enabling advanced AI models to operate efficiently and reliably in real-world environments.
Dr.
Li holds a Bachelor of Science from Henan University, a Master of Engineering from Peking University, a Master of Science and Ph.D. from
the University of Arkansas, and a Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Duke University. His research has been recognized
