SceniX (now World Labs): Real-to-Sim-to-Real

I led the pencil singulation task. I built its full sim-to-real stack on the xArm. Policies trained on zero real-world data ran autonomously for 1 hour at 159 pencils/hr.

STRIPE: Sim-to-Real Image Translation

Real-to-sim policy evaluation with a learned translator that makes sim renders look like the real camera.

CORE: Canonical Object Representations

One manipulation policy that generalizes across camera views, object placements and robots. 95% success on unseen placements.

Event-Camera Machine Condition Monitoring

Diagnosing bearing faults from event-camera streams, treated as 3D point clouds and classified with PointNet++.

Tears of Ocean

A kinetic art installation about ocean pollution, built at UC Berkeley with PID motor control and force sensing.
