About
Hi there! 👋 I'm Yutong Liang, a first-year graduate student in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of California San Diego, advised by Prof. Xiaolong Wang.
My research focuses on dexterous robotic manipulation. I study human-object interaction and learning-based control with the long-term goal of building embodied agents that operate just like human. I believe human demonstration prior is a practical way to faster, safer, and reliable robotic learning.
During my undergraduate years, I was a research student at the Visual Computing and Learning Lab at Peking University, advised by Prof. Libin Liu, where I worked on character animation and physics simulation.
