Mingrui YU (于铭瑞)

About

I am a final-year Ph.D. student in the Intelligent Manipulation Lab within the Department of Automation at Tsinghua University, supervised by Prof. Xiang Li. From 10/2023 to 03/2024, I was a visiting researcher at the MSC Lab in UC Berkeley, working with Prof. Masayoshi Tomizuka.

Research Interest: My research focuses on advancing reliable and accurate robotic dexterous manipulation by addressing challenges arising from the diversity of manipulated objects, the high dimensionality of robot motions, and the complexity of physical contacts. I prefer to approach problems from a robotics standpoint, prioritizing interpretable methods and guaranteed performance in physical systems. I believe the most promising path to human-level dexterity lies in the elegant integration of rigorous analytical motion computation, self-learning through exploration, and learning from large-scale human demonstrations.

Aspiration: Whether in academia or industry, I am driven by a long-standing passion for robotics. I look forward to a lifelong journey of learning, deploying, and exploring the frontiers of this field and its intersection with physical intelligence.
