About Me

I am a robotics researcher working at the intersection of world models, cognitive robotics, and autonomous planning. I am interested in how robots can act through sparse, task-relevant internal representations rather than relying on dense reconstruction and reactive control.

My current work centers on TIWM (Tokenized Intent World Model), a framework for intent-driven planning through sparse internal structure. In the long term, I aim to connect interpretable cognitive structure with long-horizon autoregressive planning for more generalizable embodied intelligence.

📚 Current Research
  • Sparse Semantic Grounding & World Representation

I study how task-relevant and semantically grounded structure can be distilled from high-dimensional perceptual inputs. Rather than relying on dense reconstruction alone, this line of work explores sparse internal representations that preserve behavioral relevance while reducing computational burden.

  • Cognitive Skill Templates

I explore structured action representations that combine symbolic abstraction with learned policies. The goal is to support contextual reasoning, rapid adaptation, and robust recovery in complex and uncertain human–robot interaction scenarios.

  • Intent Autoregression & Spatiotemporal Co-evolution

I investigate how autoregressive intent representations can support future-oriented reasoning in sparse latent spaces. This formulation aims to enable long-horizon spatiotemporal planning while remaining more efficient and interpretable than dense future rollout approaches.
