I develop robot intelligence that understands the world, predicts future outcomes, and learns to act through interaction.

My research spans robot learning, world models, visual navigation, semantic mapping, and 3D scene understanding, with the goal of building reliable and human-friendly Physical AI systems.

Research

My research aims to develop intelligent robots that can understand complex environments, predict the consequences of their actions, and continuously improve through interaction.

I am particularly interested in robot learning, world models, visual navigation, semantic mapping, and 3D scene representation. My long-term goal is to build human-friendly Physical AI systems that can reason and act reliably in dynamic real-world environments.
