Recent News
[November 2024] Check out DexMimicGen, the latest iteration of the MimicGen data generation system! It generates data autonomously for humanoids, trains near-perfect humanoid agents, and enables real-world humanoid manipulation.
[November 2024] 3 papers presented at CoRL 2024: SkillMimicGen (a data generation system that is a subtantial improvement over MimicGen), SPIRE (a framework that combines RL, imitation, and planning to solve long-horizon tasks), and NOD-TAMP (a system for solving long-horizon tasks from a few human demos).
[October 2024] New preprints on AHA (novel failure data generation and failure reasoning framework for robotic manipulation) and LAPA (unsupervised latent action based pretraining for robotic manipulation).
About Me
I am a research scientist at NVIDIA AI. I obtained my PhD degree from Stanford University, co-advised by Silvio Savarese and Fei-Fei Li. My research focuses on developing systems and algorithms to enable robots to learn useful manipulation tasks.
