Research

My long-term research goal is to develop general-purpose robotic agents that can live and interact with humans in unstructured real-world environments. To this end, my research focuses on improving the generalizability of Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models, enabling robots to reliably execute diverse tasks under distribution shifts in objects, viewpoints, and environments. In particular, I explore methods for improving action-space grounding and robustness under distribution shifts. Through this line of research, I aim to contribute to scalable learning frameworks for reliable human-compatible robots.
