Selected Projects

ToddlerBot 2.0
ToddlerBot 2.0: Open-Source ML-Compatible Humanoid Platform
Dec 2024 - Aug 2025
Robotics and Embodied Artificial Intelligence (REAL) Lab and The Movement Lab, Stanford University
  • Contributed to the 2.0 release by improving the custom keyframe animation app and adding non-physics motion generating and RL training tools.
  • Built an RL training pipeline with custom terrain generation, integrated stereo depth perception using the deep learning model FoundationStereo, and added RGB-D rendering and elevation mapping features in simulation.

Go1 Navigation
Go1 DLIOM-Based Autonomous Navigation
Jan 2024 - Aug 2024
Autonomy & Intelligence Lab, Northeastern University
  • Configured Unitree Go1 robot dog with 3D LiDAR sensor fixture and ROS2 environment on robot's Jetson board.
  • Integrated state estimation from DLIOM (Direct LiDAR Inertial Odometry and Mapping) with ROS2 Nav2.
  • Achieved robot navigation with custom nodes that convert velocities from Nav2 to robot's high-level SDK commands.
