Background

Primary interests: Cognitive Robotics, Computer Vision, and Robot Vision, especially exploring visual primitives in human action understanding from visual input, grounding them by natural language as well as high-level reasoning over the primitives for intelligent robots; His research mainly focuses on solutions to visual learning, which significantly reduces the time to program intelligent agents.
