My research interests mainly lie on robotic fields, specifically, robotic manipulation and grasping. I am also interested in computer vision. I am currently a member of GraspNet in SJTU Machine Vision and Intelligence Group (SJTU-MVIG). Representative papers are highlighted.

Proposes an approach for effective and robust flexible handover, which enables the robot to grasp moving objects with flexible motion trajectories with a high success rate. The key innovation of our approach is the generation of real-time robust grasp trajectories. Designs a future grasp prediction algorithm to enhance the system's adaptability to dynamic handover scenes.

Collects a dataset comprising over 110,000 contact-rich robot manipulation sequences across diverse skills, contexts, robots, and camera viewpoints, all collected in the real world. Each sequence in the dataset includes visual, force, audio, and action information, along with a corresponding human demonstration video. Puts significant efforts in calibrating all the sensors and ensures a high-quality dataset.

Focuses on semantic consistency instead of temporal smoothness of the predicted grasp poses during reactive grasping. Solves the reactive grasping problem in a target-referenced setting by tracking through generated grasp spaces.

Proposes a powerful AnyGrasp model for general grasping, including static scenes and dynamic scenes. AnyGrasp can generate accurate, full-DoF, dense and temporally-smooth grasp poses efficiently, and works robustly against large depth sensing noise.

Proposes TransCG, a large-scale real-world dataset for transparent object depth completion, along with a depth completion method DFNet based on the TransCG dataset.

Proposes graspness, a quality based on geometry cues that distinguishes graspable area in cluttered scenes, which can be measured by a look-ahead searching method. Proposes a graspness model to approximate the graspness value for quickly detect grasps in practice.

Provides an easy and unified interface for robots, grippers, sensors and pedals.

Proposes that we can learn "jargons" like "ResNet" and "YOLO" from academic paper citation information, and such citation information can be regarded as the searching results of the corresponding "jargon". For example, when searching "ResNet", the engine should return the "Deep Residual Learning for Image Recognition", instead of the papers that contains word "ResNet" in their titles, as current scholar search engines commonly return.
