Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolYutian Lei is a Research Software Engineer with nine years of experience at the intersection of robotics, perception, and machine learning, currently based in Sunnyvale. At Baidu USA he optimized real-time perception stacks and led development of a Robot GPT platform that controls a Panda arm via multimodal LLMs, contributing novel algorithms like VIHE, Reasoning Grasp and RLingua. His background includes MS Robotics from Carnegie Mellon and hands-on research work ranging from WiFi-based person perception to affective computing and a deep-RL calligraphy robot, evidencing a blend of algorithmic innovation and system engineering. Comfortable moving ideas from papers to production, he combines academic rigor with practical impact on robotic manipulation and 3D perception pipelines. An interesting thread through his career is translating human-centered cues (verbal, visual, even WiFi signatures) into actionable robot behaviors, improving both efficiency and interpretability.
