• Abstract: My overarching research goal is to provide robots with perceptional abilities that allow interactions with humans in a human-like manner. To develop these perceptional abilities, I believe that it is useful to study the principles of the human visual system. I use these principles to develop new computer vision algorithms and validate their effectiveness in intelligent robotic systems. I am enthusiastic about this approach as it offers the dual benefit of uncovering principles inherent in the human visual system, as well as applying these principles to its artificial counterpart. Fig. 1 contains a depiction of my research.

  Humans inherently possess generalizable visual representations that empower them to efficiently explore and interact with the environments in manipulation tasks. We formalize this idea through the lens of human-oriented multi-task fine-tuning on top of pre-trained visual encoders. Our Task Fusion Decoder consistently improves the representation of three state-of-the-art visual encoders for downstream manipulation policy-learning.

The robot builds a hierarchical mind model of the human user and generates explanations of its own mind as a form of communications. Results show that the generated explanations of our approach significantly improves the collaboration performance and user perception of the robot.
