Summary
Xuan Liu is a postdoctoral researcher and robotics specialist with a decade of experience spanning academic research and industry labs, focused on bio-inspired soft robot control and reinforcement learning. Holding a PhD in Mechatronics, Robotics, and Automation from Worcester Polytechnic Institute and an MS in AI Robotics from USC, Xuan combines deep algorithmic skills (ROS, Python, C++, RL) with hands-on system development such as a numerical inverse kinematics solver for a 6-DoF manipulator. Their work bridges human-robot interaction, physical robot control, and learning-based controllers, informed by internships at leading labs including USC Interaction Lab and Tsinghua University. Based in Hangzhou, they bring both pedagogical experience teaching core ECE courses and a practical track record of deploying demos in public venues, demonstrating an ability to translate research into engaging real-world systems.
