About Me🧑‍🚀

I’m Shengbang Liu, currently an undergraduate student at the School of Computer Science and Engineering, Sun Yat-sen University. I will join the Embodied Decision Intelligence Lab(EDI Lab) at Tsinghua University as a PhD student, supervised by Prof. Chao Yu and Prof. Yu Wang. Previously, I was fortunate to work as a research intern at the Human Machine Intelligence Lab(HMI Lab), under the supervision of Prof. Shanghang Zhang.

My research interests primarily focus on Robotic Manipulation 🤖 and Reinforcement Learning 🍭. My long-term goal is to build general-purpose robot agents that can understand, interact with, and create meaningful value in the physical world, paving the way toward Physical AGI.
