Honor Humanoid: Online RL for VLA
VLA Algorithm Engineer Intern at Honor. Built a human-in-the-loop online SFT / online RL pipeline for Honor's self-developed humanoid robot — smooth teleoperator takeover, an intervention-driven data pipeline, and a distributed Actor–Learner–Robot learning loop.

LangGap: VLA Language Understanding Benchmark
Accepted at IROS 2026. Designed a systematic semantic perturbation evaluation framework revealing that state-of-the-art VLA models ignore language instructions despite high benchmark scores. Proposed multi-task same-scene training approach and constructed augmented dataset for fine-tuning.

AION: Aerial Indoor Object-Goal Navigation
Accepted at IROS 2026. End-to-end dual-policy RL framework for vision-based aerial ObjectNav without external localization or global maps. Evaluated on AI2-THOR and IsaacSim.
Vision-Language Navigation on Autonomous Drone
Built a robust pipeline to generate various 3D paths in the Habitat simulator. Overcame challenges of the simulator initially designed only for ground robots by designing a robust 3D navigation algorithm and obstacle detection method. Trained a strong and general policy for drone navigation.

Frontier-Based Autonomous Exploration Vehicle
Led a team to develop an autonomous exploration system using ROS2 and LiDAR. Implemented SLAM algorithms including Cartographer and Navigation2 for real-time mapping and path planning. Integrated YOLOv11 for object detection and deployed the complete system on embedded hardware.
