Short Bio

I got my degree of Ph.D. in Engineering at the Graduate School of Engineering Science, Osaka University, Japan, majoring in robotic manipulation. I was under the supervision of Professor Kensuke Harada. The website of our lab is https://www.roboticmanipulation.org.
Prior to Osaka University, I received my B.E. and M.E. from Harbin Institute of Technology, China.

Research Interest

My major interest is the skillful manipulation in robotic assembly tasks based on motion planning, imitation learning, and reinforcement learning. And the motivation of my research is to endow robots with human tacit knowledge so that they can complete skillful tasks like human beings.
