About Me - Jichuan Yu

I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Tsinghua University, under the supervision of Prof. Chuxiong Hu. I got my B.E. degree in Mechanical Engineering from Tsinghua University in 2021. In 2025, I spent six highly rewarding months as a visiting scholar at the Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University, hosted by Prof. Changliu Liu.

My research lies at the intersection of control theory, optimization, and machine learning, with a focus on enabling robotic agents, particularly bimanual systems, to perform safe and efficient collaborative manipulation in complex real-world environments.

🚀 I am on the job market now!

I am seeking research, engineering, and internship opportunities in the Embodied AI industry. Please feel free to contact me if you have relevant positions.
