Ever wondered which data from large datasets (like OXE) actually helps when training/tuning a policy for specific tasks? We present DataMIL, a framework for measuring how each training sample influences policy performance, hence enabling effective data selection 🧵

Imagine a future where robots are part of our daily lives — How can end users teach robots new tasks by directly showing them, just like teaching another person? 🧵👇

Our collaborative paper with UT Austin's Nuclear & Applied Robotics Group published in IEEE Transactions on Robotics (T-RO). Here, we propose a closed-chain approach for generating joint trajectories for a generic robotic manipulator in real time.

🚀 Generating synthetic training data for code LLM in robotics? 🤖 Frustrated with too many programs that look correct but actually invalid? Introducing Robo-Instruct — a simulator-augmented framework that: ✅ Verifies programs against robot API constraints ✅ Aligns

Intelligent humanoids should have the ability to quickly adapt to new tasks by observing humans Why is such adaptability important? 🌍 Real-world diversity is hard to fully capture in advance 🧠 Adaptability is central to natural intelligence We present MimicDroid 👇 🌐

Excited to share that I'll be joining UT Austin in Fall 2026 as an Assistant Professor with UT Mech Engineering Texas Robotics! I'm looking for PhD students interested in humanoids, dexterous manipulation, tactile sensing, and robot learning in general -- consider applying this cycle!
