About
I am a PhD student at the School of Computer Science, Rutgers University, advised by Prof. Jingjin Yu.
Prior to this, I obtained a BSc degree with Honor Degree (top 5%) in Artificial Intelligence from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC).
My research focuses on developing more capable and trustworthy robot brains that allow robots to work efficiently and reliably in household environments.
The kitchen, as a compact yet highly representative domestic space, serves as an ideal testbed for this research.
I organize kitchen-related tasks into three main categories:
- Ingredient Preparation: Preparing raw ingredients for cooking.
- Cooking: Autonomously turning prepared ingredients into delicious meals.
- Post-Meal Tidying: Restoring the kitchen to a clean state for the next round of cooking.
We have shipped OrganizeIt as part of our work on post-meal tidying, and are also making progress on the other two categories.
