I am a Ph.D student in the Multimodal AI Research Society (MARS) Lab, School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, advised by Prof. Jianfei Yang (Stanford World’s Top 2% Scientists). I also collaborate closely with Prof. Chen Wang and Prof. Chaoqun Wang.

Prior to NTU, I obtained my MEng degree in Control Science and Engineering from Shandong University and received a BSc degree in Electrical Engineering and Automation from the University of Jinan. In the past, I focused on the pratical robot applications in the field of mobile robots.

Now, I am focusing on the development of embodied AI agents for Life Science, combining Foundation Models and Robotic Arm in the Chem/Bio lab automation. Specifically, I hope to build a robust, safe, user-friendly embodied AI agent to help the biochemical researchers finishing some repetitive and boring work, like what copilot does for programmers and ChatGPT for writers.

During my spare time, I enjoy any sports, especially basketball, and playing video games, especially the Roguelike games and Pokemon. Now, I begin to explore the photography as most Ph.D students~

My research interest includes robotic navigation, motion planning, and embodied AI. I have published more than 1 papers at the top robotics journals and conferences with total .

Feel free to send me an email at cxy980212@gmail.com if our interests align and I’m delighted to any collaboration and discussion oppertounities.
