Hi! I am Yen-Jen Wang, a first-year Ph.D. student at UC Berkeley, advised by Koushil Sreenath in the Hybrid Robotics Group (HRG) and Berkeley Artificial Intelligence Research Lab (BAIR).

Previously, I obtained M.S. from Institute for Interdisciplinary Information Sciences (IIIS) at Tsinghua University, where I was advised by Jianyu Chen, and I also collaborate closely with Huazhe Xu. Prior to that, I completed B.S. in Computer Science at National Taiwan University. I have also spent time in Google, Pony.ai, Robot Era, and Shanghai Qi Zhi Institute as interns.

My research interests include Robotics, Controls, and Embodied AI, with a particular focus on Humanoid Robots. I also love competitive programming.

If my research or competitive programming interests you, please don’t hesitate to drop me an email. : )

Selected Projects

(*: Equal contribution. Co-first Author.)

Yen-Jen Wang*, Robot Era*, Jianyu Chen
Description:
  • The first humanoid robot to climb the Great Wall.
  • Based on our RSS paper, Denoising World Model Learning (DWL) framework, we further incorporate visual perception information to allow the robot to make gait changes in real time.
Robot Era, Yen-Jen Wang, Jianyu Chen
Description:
  • Xhand is a dexterous hand designed by Robot Era. With 12 active degrees of freedom, built-in tactile sensors, high control precision, smooth and reliable operation, and fully self-developed technology, Xhand is setting new standards in robotics.
RMA sim2real for Go1 Quadrupedal Robot
Yen-Jen Wang, Zheyuan Jiang, Jianyu Chen
Description:
  • An implementation for RMA: Rapid Motor Adaptation for Legged Robots.
  • Train on Isaac Gym and deploy on Unitree Go1 Robot.
  • This is an assignment prepared for Prof. Jianyu Chen’s Advanced Topics in Robotics course.
An implementation for Extended Visual Cryptography for Natural Images
Yen-Jen Wang
Description:
  • An unofficial C++ implementation for the Journal of WSCG. 2002, vol. 10, no. 1-2, p. 303-310 Extended Visual Cryptography for Natural Images.
  • The two images are processed separately and printed on transparent plastic sheets. By overlapping these two plastic sheets, you can get the specified image.
Pour Water Task on A Mobile Manipulator
Yen-Jen Wang, Yanjiang Guo, Xiaoyu Chen, Jianyu Chen
Description:
  • Use ROS to control the mobile manipulator to complete the pouring task.
  • Use more accurate observation as a teaching model to train students using image input.
