Robotics & embodied intelligence
Learning to interact
with the physical world.
I study how robots can learn dexterous manipulation and human-inspired movement—connecting perception, touch, and action.
Intelligence takes shape
through interaction.
My research interests lie at the intersection of robot learning and physical interaction. I’m interested in policies that can use visual and tactile feedback to handle contact, and learn from human priors without being limited to imitation.
My current work spans contact-rich dual-arm manipulation, tactile-enhanced vision-language-action policies, reinforcement learning and post-training, and musculoskeletal badminton. I also build tools that make remote robotics research easier.

Contact-rich manipulation Research project
Human priors for dexterous interaction.
Exploring dual-arm contact-rich manipulation with human-hand priors and confidence-adaptive reinforcement learning fine-tuning.
Tasks include pouring, wiping a plate, unscrewing a cap, and sweeping.
Research in progress.
Human-inspired motor learning
From human motion to badminton skills.
Musculoskeletal badminton research connecting video-based motion reconstruction, retargeting, tracking, and policy distillation with multi-shuttle reinforcement learning and adaptive hitting.
Current focus: the forehand clear. Transfer to full-court humanoid badminton is an ongoing goal.
Research interests
Connecting perception and physical interaction.
I’m interested in tactile-enhanced vision-language-action policies for contact-rich robotic manipulation, and how reinforcement learning and post-training can improve interaction with the physical world.
Open-source research infrastructure
A motion-retargeting pipeline using WHAM, SMPL reconstruction, and joint-limited inverse kinematics, with synchronized previews and Isaac Lab tracking tools.
The public repository validates the pipeline; its smoke tests do not demonstrate a learned badminton skill.
Tools beyond the experiments
Open-source · macOS
A calmer workspace for remote machines.
A native Mac app bringing SSH terminals, remote files, a code editor, and simulation viewers into one workspace. Built for the everyday work around research.
