Visuotactile learning for robotic grasping
Research group of Assoc. Prof. Yiqun Li · HUST
Helped build an imitation-learning data collection system integrating a RealMan arm, two depth cameras, tactile skin, and an electric gripper. Collected over 400 grasping demonstrations and investigated visual encoders, UMI-style handheld collection, and manipulation dataset conventions.

白喉莺Nov 2024 – Aug 2025
Wearable multimodal navigation assistant
Project lead
An edge–cloud robotic assistant for people with visual impairments. I designed the robot structure and hardware, developed the ROS 2 control framework, and integrated indoor mapping, route planning, and multimodal interaction.
↳ National Second Prize · Chinese Collegiate Computing Competition
ROS 2
RTAB-Map
Human–robot interaction
More about this project
The project combined long- and short-range navigation with RTAB-Map indoor mapping, semantic understanding, and vibration feedback. We developed four hardware iterations and collaborated with the Wuhan Disabled Persons’ Federation and assistive-technology partners.
