Hao Li / 李 皓

I am a PhD student in Mechanical Engineering at Biomimetics & Dexterous Manipulation Laboratory, advised by Prof. Mark Cutkosky. Additionaly, I am actively engaged in the OceanOneK project and have the previlige of working with Prof. Oussama Khatib.

I was a MSc student in Stanford Vision and Learning Lab, working with Prof. Jiajun Wu and Prof. Fei-Fei Li. I previously received my dual B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Purdue University, where I was fortunate to be advised by Karthik Ramani on Human-Computer Interaction.

I support diversity, equity, and inclusion. If you would like to have a chat with me regrading research, career plans or anything, feel free to reach out! I would be happy to support people from underrepresented groups in the STEM research community, and hope my expertise can help you.

Research ( Show Selected | Show All )

I have been working on design, fabricate, and understand tactile sensors and the rich information broght by them. I'm also broadly interested in artificial intelligence and robotics, including but not limited to perception, planning, control, hardware design, and human-centered AI. The goal of my research is to build agents that can achieve human-level of learning and adapt to novel and challenging scenarios by leveraging multisensory information including vision, audio, touch, etc.

We present a method for using highly flexible, curved, passive whiskers mounted along a robot arm to gather sensory data as they brush past objects during normal robot motion.

dataset demo / project page / arXiv / video / code

We introduce the OBJECTFOLDER BENCHMARK, a benchmark suite of 10 tasks for multisensory object-centric learning, and the OBJECTFOLDER REAL dataset, in- cluding the multisensory measurements for 100 real-world household objects.

International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), 2023
project page / arXiv / video / code

We introduce SONICVERSE, a multisensory simulation platform with integrated audio-visual simulation for training household agents that can both see and hear. We demonstrate SONICVERSE’s realism via sim-to-real transfer.

See, Hear, Feel: Smart Sensory Fusion for Robotic Manipulation
Hao Li*, Yizhi Zhang*, Junzhe Zhu, Shaoxiong Wang, Michelle A. Lee, Huazhe Xu, Edward Adelson, Li Fei-Fei, Ruohan Gao†, Jiajun Wu(*Equal Contribution) (†Equal Advising)
Conference on Robot Learning (CoRL), 2022
project page / arXiv / video / code

We build a robot system that can see with a camera, hear with a contact microphone, and feel with a vision-based tactile sensor, with all three sensory modalities fused with a self-attention model.
