Academic Achievements
  • Proposed Sparse Diffusion Policy: a sparse, reusable, and flexible policy for robot learning
  • Developed Versatile Loco-Manipulation through Flexible Interlimb Coordination
  • Published work on Singularity-Avoidant Motion Mappings for pose-tracking teleoperation
  • Invented the Everything-Grasping (EG) Gripper with synergistic suction–grasping capabilities
  • Created the Prismatic-Bending Transformable (PBT) Joint for modular, foldable manipulators
Research Experience
  • Engaged in Robotics and Mechatronics research focusing on robotic grasping, dexterous manipulation, human-robot interfaces, and intelligent skill transfer
  • Developed innovative robotic grippers and manipulators, including Programmable Locking Cells (PLC), Everything-Grasping (EG) Gripper, and Prismatic-Bending Transformable (PBT) Joint
  • Designed a Dexterous and Compliant (DexCo) Hand based on soft hydraulic actuation and the DIH-Tele teleoperation framework for multi-object manipulation learning
  • Conducted robot learning research emphasizing multimodal reasoning (vision, force, language), policy representation learning, and continual learning
  • Worked on Embodied AI and Loco-manipulation, covering teleoperation data curation, generalist pre-training with specialist post-training, and coordinated control across humanoid, quadruped, and arm platforms
  • Participated in autonomous driving research
  • Contributed to past projects in intelligent control, mechatronics, and precision motion control, such as exoskeleton design, variable stiffness actuators, HDD control, and MEMS gyroscope calibration
