Research
I am interested in the sensing, modeling, and control of soft and medical robots utilizing machine learning. Compared to the rigid mechanical structure of conventional robots, the inherent compliance and flexibility of soft robots enable them to travel in confined spaces and manipulate objects in complex environments. In medical applications, such robots provide clinicians with the ability to administer less invasive treatments at a reduced cost and higher efficiency.
My current research focuses on the development of a data-efficient and generalizable framework for learning the kinematics of robots, with an application to concentric tube continuum robots.
The first public dataset of a three-tube concentric tube continuum robot, accompanied by benchmark results for learning the forward kinematics using a feedforward neural network.
Projects
I have worked on a wide range of interesting and challenging projects within the domains of robotics and machine learning.
These experiences broadened my perspective and equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of the robotics field.
