I am a first-year PhD student at UCSD, working with Prof. Xiaolong Wang. Before this,
I received an MS in computer science and BS in computer science and mathematics at UIUC,
where I was co-advised by Prof. Kris Hauser and
Prof. Yuxiong Wang.
My research interests lie in the intersection of robotics and computer vision. My research aims at
enhancing the mobile manipulation capabilities of robots via CV methods.
We design a disinfection system that can priortize cleaning of high-touch surfaces like human cleaners
by co-designing perception and planning algorithms.
We designed and built robots from bolts and metal to perception algorithm. I mainly helped
with writing STM32 application software and perception code.
Codebase for Robotics Motion Planning Ri-Zhao Qiu Personal Project, 2020 Codebase
I implemented a codebase for robotics motion planning, which supports common problems
like 2D narrow passage, bug traps, and robot arm grasping. It implements a variety of
algorithms including RRT, RRT*, bRRT, PRM, FMT. In addition to uniform sampling, it also
supports non-uniform sampler using conditional autoencoder.
