Yafei Hu I’m a robotics researcher interested in 3D perception for robotics, and how motion planning and RL policy learning could benefit from 3D perception. I currenly work at RAI Institute (formerly known as Boston Dynamics AI Institute) as a research scientist. I did my PhD at Carnegie Mellon University, with Prof. Sebastian Scherer. If you are interested in doing an internship with me at RAI Institute, please shoot me an email.
