About Me
I am a currently a master student in Mechanical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University working on SafeAI Lab, advised by Prof. Ding Zhao. I believe robot learning is the future.
Prior to CMU, I received my B.S. degree in Agricultural Engineering from Zhejiang University in 2025. At Zhejiang University, I worked on soft magnetic robot supervised by prof.Mingchuan Zhou. I also participated in a summer research internship about fault tolerant control of quadrotor in Arclab, the University of Hong Kong, supervised by prof.Peng Lu. In addition, I spent several months for internship in Dessight Biomedical Company focusing on da Vinci Research Kit.
I will also apply for Ph.D. in robotics in 2027 fall. Feel free to contact me if you have same goals or any questions about myself.
Research Experiences
-
Object Manipulation with Wristed da Vinci Research KitResponsible for deploying several benchmark algorithms for a series of manipulation tasks. Also responsible for building RL environment in SOFA and Isaac Sim.
Under review by ICRA 2026
-
Capturing Dynamic Target with Magnetic Microgripper via RLDeveloped an RL policy with a specific network framework for microgripper chasing target in cluttered environment.
Resubmitting to IEEE Transactions on Robitics as a co-first author.
-
Fault-tolerant Control for Quadrotor via a Fast RL ApproachTrain and deploy an RL policy for controlling a small drone with rotor failure with RLtools, a C++ RL library.
Succeessful in simulation but highly unstable in reality.
