Hi there! I am Haoyu, a current master student at National University of Singapore, major in robotics. Prior to that, I obtained my bachelor’s degree in robotics engineering at Beihang University. My research interest lies in robot learning, especially in general purpose robot manipulation. More specifically, I am focusing on representation learning, large pre-trained models, and continual learning. Currently I am under Prof. Lin Shao’s supervision. Please feel free to ask me any questions regarding my research projects.

I am currently applying for PhD positions in robot manipulation learning across the world starting as early as March 2025! If you are a professor/student who feels like I am a good fit to your research group, please send me an email. I will highly appreciate it!
