Junlin Wang 王俊麟

I am a second-year master’s student in Robotics at the University of Pennsylvania. I currently work with Dr. Jianbo Shi and Dr. Michael Posa, and previously worked with Dr. Lingjie Liu at the GRASP Lab. I received my bachelor’s degree in Automation from Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech), advised by Dr. Zhiyun Lin, Dr. Max Q.-H. Meng, and Dr. Chaoyang Song.

I am broadly interested in robot learning. My research develops sample-efficient learning algorithms for robotic systems, with the long-term goal of enabling robots to generalize from limited real-world experience. Throughout my research, I have sought to make things as simple as possible, but not simpler. I believe general-purpose robotic systems should be computationally compact and efficient enough to operate in real time and in closed loop, without sacrificing their capability to handle complex, long-horizon tasks under real-world uncertainty.
