Work History
PhD Graduate Assistant
Umass Amherst
Amherst, MA
09.2023 - Current
- Supervised by Prof. Chuang Gan
- Developed ThinShellLab, a differentiable physics simulation platform for diverse thin-shell materials with a set of manipulation tasks and inverse design tasks to boost robot skill acquiring on thin-shell manipulation.
- Involved in RoboGen, a fully automatic pipeline to generate task, scene configuration, training supervision and learn diverse skills.
Research Intern
Peking University
01.2021 - 03.2023
- Advised by Prof. Hao Dong
- Under the guidance of Dr. Kaichun Mo, Dr. Ruihai Wu, Dr. Qingnan Fan and Prof. Leonidas J.Guibas
- Involved VAT-Mart, a framework to predict visual action affordance and long-term trajectories for 3D articulated objects manipulation.
- Developed AdaAfford, a framework that learns to perform very few test-time interactions for quickly adapting the affordance priors by eliminating the dynamic and kinematic uncertainties.
- Developed Coarse-to-Fine Affordance that mitigate the effect of point cloud noise of real-sense camera by automatically choose a closer view.
