Biography
I am a Member of Technical Staff at Amazon FAR (Frontier AI & Robotics).
I received my Master’s degree from the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University advised by Guanya Shi, and Bachelor’s degree from Shanghai Jiao Tong University advised by Hesheng Wang and Zhongqiang Ren. I also interned at Tsinghua University (IIIS) advised by Huazhe Xu. During my undergraduate career, I led the programming group at SJTU VEX Robotics Club.
Current Focus: Scalable learning systems for robots to perceive, reason, and act reliably in the real world.
Robots: I have worked on many types of robots, including humanoids, mobile manipulators, and aerial robots.
