Kefeng Huang 黄克峰

I am a PhD student at Robot-Assisted Living Lab (RALLA), Institute for Safe Autonomy, University of York, UK, under the supervision of Dr. Jihong Zhu, Prof. Andy Tyrrell and Prof. Ian J.S. Fairlamb. I was a research intern at Tencent Robotics X. I obtained my integrated Master degree (1st) in Computer Science at UCL from 2019 to 2023, where I worked with Prof. Jun Wang, Prof. Simon Julier and Prof. Dimitrios Kanoulas.

My research interests lie in the broad area of robot learning, with a particular focus on robotic manipulation and perception. I am particularly interested in exploring imitation learning and developing methods to enable robots to perceive and perform complex tasks that are difficult to model explicitly. My work aims to advance intelligent and adaptive robotic systems.
