About

Hi there! 👋 I am Yikai Tang, a senior undergrad at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, currently visiting as an research assistant at UC Berkeley. During my undergrad years, I'm fortunate to be advised by Prof. Jitendra Malik and Prof. Yunbo Wang. My research interests mainly lie in Robot Learning, where I focus on building reliable, generalizable and modality-rich robot policies that can be applied to real-world scenarios.
