I have been an Assistant Professor at the School of Design at Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) since January 2022, leading the Machine Intelligence Design and Learning Lab (mainDL Lab). I am a member of the Design Society and IEEE. My primary research area is embodied intelligence. Building on robot learning algorithms, my research focuses on robotic vision and tactile perception, dexterous manipulation, motion control, and human–robot interaction. I graduated from Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) in 2009 with a bachelor’s degree in Applied Mathematics. Then, I earned a doctoral degree in Mathematics and Physics from Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in 2014. I have led several research projects, including the National Natural Science Foundation Youth Project and General Project, and the Ministry of Education Collaborative Education Project. I have co-authored over 50 high-quality papers in top AI and robotics journals and conferences, including The International Journal of Robotics Research, IEEE Transactions on Robotics, the Conference on Robot Learning (CoRL), Robotics: Science and Systems (RSS), and the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA). I’m also the lead instructor for three courses: AI in Design, Design and Learning with Data, and Designing Robots for Social Good.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://x.ancorasir.com/maindl/welcome.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
