Xinchen Yin

I'm a senior undergraduate in Electrical Engineering at Zhejiang University and University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign.

I've been fortunate to work with Yunzhu Li, Shivansh Patel, and Wenlong Huang during my time at UIUC. Prior to that, I've spent enjoyable time working with Gaoang Wang at ZJU-UIUC Institute.

I'm actively seeking for Master/PhD opportunities in 25 Fall!

Research

I'm interested in Robotics, Imitation Learning, Reinforcement Learning, Zero-shot/One-shot/Few-shot Learning, Sim-to-Real Transfer, 3D Vision, Foundation Models. My long-term goal is (1) to enable robots to have the ability to learn from Internet-scale data efficiently and (2) to equip robots with human level of manipulation ability.
