I am an incoming Ph.D. candidate at ShanghaiTech University SIST(School of Information Science and Technology) and the Beijing Institute for General Artificial Intelligence (BIGAI), co-supervised by Prof. Chenxi Xiao and Prof. Ziyuan Jiao.

I hold a B.Sc. from ShanghaiTech and a M.Sc. from University of Aizu under Prof. Yong Liu’s supervision, and previously spent two years at Shanghai Jiao Tong University’s MVIG Group working with Prof. Cewu Lu.

I’m particularly interested in the intersection of robotics and AI, my research focuses on dexterous manipulation, tactile sensing, and end-effector design to enable robots to interact with the physical world with human-like precision and adaptability. My contributions have been recognized with Best Paper Finalist and Best Paper on Human-Robot Interaction of ICRA(IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation).

I welcome collaborations with researchers and industry partners passionate about dexterous manipulation and haptic systems, particularly those interested in transforming lab research into real-world applications through prototype development or industrial problem-solving - feel free to reach me!

We have been selected as the best paper finalist for our paper in the International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) 2025 and the best paper of human-robot interaction track.

Employing a teleoperation system for gathering demonstrations offers the potential for more efficient learning of robot manipulation. However, teleoperating a robot arm equipped with a dexterous hand or gripper, via a teleoperation system poses significant challenges due to its high dimensionality, complex motions, and differences in physiological structure.In this study, we introduce a novel system for joint learning between human operators and robots, that enables human operators to share control of a robot end-effector with a learned assistive agent, facilitating simultaneous human demonstration collection and robot manipulation teaching. In this setup, as data accumulates, the assistive agent gradually learns. Consequently, less human effort and attention are required, enhancing the efficiency of the data collection process. It also allows the human operator to adjust the control ratio to achieve a trade-off between manual and automated control.We conducted experiments in both simulated environments and physical real-world settings. Through user studies and quantitative evaluations, it is evident that the proposed system could enhance data collection efficiency and reduce the need for human adaptation while ensuring the collected data is of sufficient quality for downstream tasks.
