Researcher & Developer · Reinforcement Learning · Computer Vision

I want to build systems that can see, understand, and act in the physical world. My research sits at the intersection of perception and decision-making, with a broad interest in spatial intelligence — how will machines understand, reason about, and interact with physical space.
Currently I am exploring how Vision Language Models can be grounded in physical action, enabling machines to semantically understand their environment and respond to natural language with physical gestures.

InMoov — Open-Source Humanoid Robot

🔬 Ongoing

Building and programming the InMoov humanoid robot as a research platform. Currently the robot accepts natural language voice commands and executes a set of physical actions. The ongoing research direction extends this further — integrating Vision Language Models so the robot can semantically understand its visual environment and physically point toward named objects on demand, e.g., "Where is the door?" — a step toward grounded spatial intelligence in embodied systems.
