About Me

I am a robotics researcher dedicated to achieving true cognitive autonomy—developing systems that do not merely execute commands but possess the capacity for deep understanding, dynamic adaptation, and proactive self-correction. My current work centers on TIWM (Tokenized Intent World Model), a pioneering sparse intent-token interface bridging the gap between raw perception and high-level agency. My long-term goal is to unify interpretable cognitive templates with autoregressive long-horizon planning into a hybrid paradigm for generalizable, human-aligned robotic intelligence.

📚 Current Research
  • Sparse Semantic Grounding & World Representation

I explore the distillation of minimal, semantically grounded tokens from high-dimensional perceptual streams. This sparse alignment mechanism leverages ‘fuzzy-memory’ to maintain cognitive continuity across heterogeneous environments, bypassing the need for computationally intensive dense reconstructions.

  • Cognitive Skill Templates

I design composable action schemas that synthesize symbolic abstraction with Reinforcement Learning (RL) policies. These templates provide a framework for contextual reasoning and rapid adaptation, ensuring robust error recovery and “self-healing” behaviors during complex, non-deterministic human–robot interactions (HRI).

  • Intent Autoregression & Spatiotemporal Co-evolution

I leverage intent token autoregression to facilitate the “mental simulation” of future states. This approach enables long-horizon joint spatiotemporal planning by evolving decisions within a sparse latent space, achieving the foresight of dense future rollouts with the efficiency of a tokenized architecture.

📚 TIWM — Tokenized Intent World Model
A unified representation–generation–decision semantic loop that imagines futures and acts upon them with intent. TIWM provides an intent interface that fuses template-driven cognition with sparse autoregressive long-horizon reasoning for scalable, interpretable planning.
