Zixuan Huang

I am Zixuan Huang, a first year PhD student in Robotics at University of Michigan studying learning for robot manipulation. I'm very fortunate to be advised by Prof. Dmitry Berenson. Prior to UMich, I was a Master student in Robotics at Carnegie Mellon University advised by Prof. David Held.

I obtained a B.S. in Computer Science from the City University of Hong Kong, where I explored privacy-preserving machine learning and non-photorealistic rendering under the supervision of Prof. Antoni B. Chan, Prof. Cong Wang and Prof. Jing Liao

Research

My current research focuses on the intersection of robotics, computer vision, reinforcement learning and planning. My goal is to enable robot to learn, adapt and operate autonormously in the unstructured envrionments.

Learning a particle-based dynamics model on the visible part of the cloth enables efficient planning for cloth smoothing. We show that implicit occlusioning by graph imitation further improves the performance.
