Biography
Hi! I am Haocheng Yin (殷镐成), a Ph.D. student in Robotics at Georgia Tech. I have the privilege of being co‑advised by Prof. Lu Gan and Prof. Yongsheng Chen. Previously, I earned my master degree at ETH Zürich. I was fortunate to work on my master thesis at Harvard SEAS, advised by Prof. Heng Yang.
My research goal is to develop intelligent embodied agents that are generalizable across diverse tasks and adaptable to various unseen environments in the physical world. To address this goal, my current work seeks to cover:
- Analyzing visual representations for robust robot control.
- Designing the generalizable control module for sim-to-real transfer.
- Realizing compositional generative models for effective world modeling.
