About

profile

I’m a robotics researcher, focusing on embodied-agent, VLA, 3D perception, visual SLAM and deep reinforcement learning.

Currently, I work at Midea where I lead a team focused on advanced robotics research, including humanoid robots, wheeled systems, and consumer-level products. Prior to this, I served as a research engineer at Huawei Noah’s Ark Lab in Toronto. I completed my Computer Science Master’s degree at McGill University’s Center for Intelligent Machines, where I worked as a Research Assistant under the supervision of Professor Gregory Dudek and Professor David Meger.

Before that, I obtained B.S. in Tongji University, 2015, I joined iLab Tongji (2015-2017), USC and worked with Professor Laurent Itti, Professor Jianwei Lu, on robot LiDar SLAM and Multi-sensor (vision IMU and LiDar) fusion.
