I am an Associate Professor with the State Key Laboratory of Robotics, Shenyang Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shenyang, China. I was a Visiting Scientist/Post-doc with the Human-Robot Interfaces and Interaction (HRI²) Lab, Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT), Genova, Italy. I have authored or coauthored more than 20 publications in journals and conference proceedings in the areas of my research interests. 

Robotics needs multidisciplinary knowledge. People with background of mechanical engineering, electronic engineering, control engineering, computer sciences, or AI are welcome to join us!
