Aaron Chou
I am a first-year MRSD student in the Robotics Institute (RI) at Carnegie Mellon University. I have 2.5 years of industry experience spanning robotic manipulation (UMI/Diffusion Policy), quadruped robotics (vision-language navigation, learned locomotion policy selection, learning-based control), 3D reconstruction (3DGS), sensor fusion, and autonomous mobile robots for warehouse logistics.
Drawing on my experience with UMI data collection and 3DGS reconstruction for robotic navigation, I aim to scale robot data with minimal human effort (e.g., my capstone on learning humanoid manufacturing tasks from human video), or to learn generalizable, reusable skills from a single demonstration.
Previously, I obtained my B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from National Taiwan University.
