Leaflet calling for participants (Ended)

Pretty interesting behavior with PPO RNN with "tactiles"!

Exploratory Research

With RNN, the policy is able to memorize where it has previously searched and locate the cube. Note: "Tactiles" here is simulated by a signature that only occurs when the end-effector hovers over the cube.

Interned at Amazon Robotics during Fall 24

About

My academic and research focuses on the intersection of
machine learning and robotics.
When away from my desk, I spend my time designing and printing 3D models, building 8-bit computers, hiking, and listening to music.

Portfolio

I'm a final year Computer Science student in a Combined B.S./M.S. degree from Hong Kong at the Paul G. Allen School advised by Prof. Abhishek Gupta, researching on problems around data efficiency of reinforcement learning using real robot learning. More broadly, I'm interested in modeling and understanding learning problems in the robotics field through algorthmic and machine learning methods.

Last fall, I was a SDE co-op at Amazon Robotics in North Reading, MA, where I worked on integrating an end-to-end physics simulation for manipulation robot to visualize motions and monitor state machine to catch edge cases.
