[MS/PhD] Recruiting Students for Humanoid Robot Research

The following announcement is from Professor Yue Wang. Please contact them directly if you have any questions.

Dear all,

We are conducting a research project on building a large-scale humanoid dataset/algorithm/infrastructure, with plans to submit our work to NeurIPS or ICRA. This project aims to collect high-quality interaction data to advance humanoid robots’ perception and control capabilities in complex environments, in addition to fundamental algorithm development.

We are currently recruiting student researchers to assist with:

• Hardware building: Setting up the robotic system, sensor calibration, and robot teleoperation.
• Data collection: Recording and annotating high-quality datasets for training and evaluation.
• Algorithm development. Conduct research on reinforcement learning and sim-to-real transfer for humanoid locomotion and manipulation.

What you will gain:

• Hands-on experience in cutting-edge humanoid robotics research and data-driven robot learning.
• Co-authorship on a NeurIPS or ICRA paper, contributing to a high-impact research publication.
• Practical skills in hardware setup and experimentation, benefiting your future research and career development.

We are looking for students who:

• Are interested in robotics, computer vision, or deep learning (experience in these fields is a plus).
• Have basic programming skills (Python/C++, or experience with ROS and other robotics-related tools).
• Are team-oriented and willing to dedicate time to the experiments.

If you are interested, please fill out the form: https://forms.gle/wfTxMnttBCZR3AwB9. There is no need to send a separate email, and we will reach out if we find a good fit. 

Best,
Yue Wang
