Research Vision
From perception to purposeful action
Understand the World
Robot perception, semantic mapping, and 3D scene representation
Robots perceive objects, spaces, and people to construct meaningful representations of their surroundings.
Predict What Comes Next
World models, spatial reasoning, and future prediction
Robots reason about how the environment may change and anticipate the consequences of their actions.
Learn to Act
Robot learning, navigation, and manipulation
Robots acquire reusable skills through imitation, reinforcement learning, planning, and interaction.
What We Study
Research Areas
Robot Learning
Learning reusable skills from demonstrations, interaction, and feedback
World Models
Predictive representations for reasoning and decision-making
Robot Navigation
Language-guided and socially aware navigation in dynamic environments
Robot Manipulation
Perception-driven grasping, manipulation, and long-horizon task execution
Selected Directions
Featured Research
Language-Guided Robot Navigation
Robots that understand natural-language instructions and navigate complex environments.
Object-Centric 3D Reconstruction
Robots that actively interact with objects to construct complete and actionable 3D representations.
Long-Horizon Robot Manipulation
Learning and planning reusable skills for complex real-world manipulation tasks.
