Research
My research objective is to develop general-purpose embodied agents that can reason, plan, and act in open-world environments, much like humans. Motivated by this vision, I explore how to scale robot learning on heterogeneous data sources, refine sensorimotor policies through online self-practice, and integrate reactive control with semantic reasoning to solve complex, long-horizon tasks in the physical world.
Key areas of focus include:
machine learning for decision making and control
robot learning systems that scale with broad sources of data
data engines for embodied AI and robotics research
