Work History

Graduate Student Research Assistant

Mechanical And AI Lab
Pittsburgh, PA
05.2023 - 08.2023

Prompt engineering for robot kitchen tasks

1. Built a complete prompt for a robot to execute including

  • Language instruction like cutting an apple in 5 pcs
  • Lower level vision and action functions like detect, moveto, cut and push
  • Code example using these functions like cutting a banana into half

2. Used ChatGPT API to generate correct code using lower level functions

  • Feed the prompt into gpt-3.5-turbo, parse the code part and execute it.
  • If an error occurs, append the code and the error message to the prompt and feed it again to the api.
  • Iteratively doing the above steps until no error occurs.

Autonomous Vehicle Control Intern

Jingwei Hirain
Beijing, Beijing, China
11.2022 - 12.2022
  • Assisted with vehicle testing in simulation and real environment for 3 times
  • Arranged control algorithms for autonomous vehicles like S-Curve of Time Optimal Control, Bang-Bang Control

Research Trainee

Brigham's & Women's Hospital
Boston, MA
01.2017 - 05.2017
  • FEM extension design for 3D Slicer software platform for medical image analysis.
  • Feature 1: inputs surface mesh produced from MRI from another extension, creates volume mesh, add material properties (density, Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio) to voxels
  • Feature 2: Links OpenSurgSim library to calculate deformation under boundary conditions and external forces, then links VTK library to visualize deformed model
  • Application: Imported breast MRI with tumors, simulated deformation from prone to supine pose, performed position error of supine tumor less than 3 cm
