I am a postdoc at the Berkeley Artificial Intelligence Research (BAIR) Lab working with Pieter Abbeel. I received my Ph.D. in Robotics from Carnegie Mellon University, advised by David Held and my B.S. in computer science from Peking University.
I am seeking academic and industry positions in the upcoming year. Please reach out if you think I could be a good fit!Google Scholar / Github / Twitter / CV (Feb. 2022) / xingyu [at] berkeley (dot) edu
My research lies in robotics, machine learning, and computer vision, with the primary goal of learning generalizable robot skills from two angles:
Ultimately, my goal is to enable robots to assist humans in unstructured environments, particularly at home. To achieve this, many of my works consider tasks in deformable object manipulation, which are common in our daily lives but pose significant challenges for current robot systems.
