I am a visiting scholar at USC, advised by Gaurav Sukhatme and Joseph Lim.
I received my master's degree in Electronic Engineering from the University of Calgary. Before that, I completed my B.Eng. in
Software Engineering at Zhejiang University of Technology.
My main research goal is to advance robots’ ability to autonomously learn, adapt, and engage with
the complexities of the real world. I strive to push the limits of robotics by developing innovative
machine learning and adaptive control algorithms.
Our approach BOSS (BOotStrapping your own Skills) learns to accomplish new tasks by performing
"skill bootstrapping," where an agent with a set of primitive skills interacts with the environment
to practice new skills without receiving reward feedback for tasks outside of the initial skill set.
This bootstrapping phase is guided by large language models that inform the agent of meaningful
skills to chain together. Through this process, BOSS builds a wide range of complex and useful
behaviors from a basic set of primitive skills.
We propose the first WDR database for face detection, which contains a total of 398 16-bit megapixel
grayscale wide dynamic range images collected from 29 subjects. The database is annotated with
bounding boxes and landmarks. We also provide the ground truth of the face detection results.
