About Me

I am a PhD student in the Service Robotics Laboratory at the School of Control Science and Engineering, Shandong University, advised by Prof. Guohui Tian. My research focuses on service robots, embodied intelligence, and long-horizon task planning.

I am especially interested in building the robot brain: improving planning, navigation, and grasping capabilities so robots can provide more intelligent embodied assistance.
