👋 Hi there! My name is Chuyang Xiao. I am a senior undergraduate student majoring in computer science at ShanghaiTech University. Currently, I have joined the 4DV Lab, under the mentorship of Prof. Yuexin Ma. During 2023-2024 academic year, I was an exchange student at University of California Berkeley. I will be joining the MSR(Master of Science in Robotics) program at Carnegie Mellon University in Fall 2025. 🌻

Research Interests:

• Robotics, Embodied AI, Computer Vision

• [Dec.2023] Merit Student 2022-2023 of ShanghaiTech Unversity 🌸

Research Experience

• [Oct.2024 - Feb.2025] Created the first dataset and evaluation benchmark for dynamic grasping with a dexterous hand, and implemented our own approach combining diffusion models and other models, such as GOAL, for the task. 🦾
• [May.2024 - Sep.2024] Developed a model-free reinforcement learning (RL) method to optimize traffic flow in intersections with varying topologies. Created a new benchmark for mixed traffic research.🚗
• [Jun.2024 - Jul.2024] Trained image classification tasks using a Mixture of Experts (MoE) as a visual encoder for robotic manipulation tasks.🤖
• [Mar.2024 - Apr.2024] Assessed current text-to-video models with a focus on their handling of temporal input data.⌚️
• [Apr.2023 - Jun.2023] Built multi-modal dataloaders for training a human-position estimation model. Conducted parameter fitting for mesh models.
