Embodied Decision-Making Group

Our Mission

Greetings! Our mission is advancing embodied decision-making systems by facilitating their reliability and generalizability across diverse tasks and environments. This requires seamless interaction between simulated environments, real-world deployment, and human feedback. The following figures show our pipeline.

Specifically, our research involves the following aspects:
  1. Simulated environments: We follow a generative simulation pipeline that enables the synthesis of infinite robot control data within simulated environments and facilitates the scaling of this data to practical applications. The detailed research topics includes:
    • Sim2Real Data Engine: [In-Submission]
    • Agentic Skill Discovery: [Work in Process]
  2. Real-world Deployment: We aim to address real-world problems, which means the skills and policies we develop must be validated through realistic applications. Ideally, these should be tested in real-world environments under everyday tasks to ensure their practicality and effectiveness. In this context, working with hardware is crucial. Our primary focus is on humanoid robots, specifically, dual-arm, legged robots equipped with dexterous hands. The detailed research topics includes:
    • Whole-body Locomotion: [In-Submission]
    • Whole-body Manipulation: [Work in Process]
  3. Human Feedbacks: We believe that one of the primary goals of embodied decision-making is to serve humans, meaning that the decisions made by robots must align with human expectations. To achieve this goal, we focus on incorporating human feedback into the decision-making process during robot control. Such feedback signals mainly concern the safety and optimality (i.e., task completion) of the decisions. The detailed research topics includes:
