I'm Huaidian Hou (侯怀典), a 4-th year undergraduate Robotics researcher at UMich. As a passionate computer scientist and creative artist, I focus on sculpting intelligent understanding and manipulation capabilities for the benefit of our communities. My recent work spans scalable imitation learning for robotic manipulation and efficient sim2real for challenging tasks.

I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. Dmitry Berenson and Prof. Shai Revzen during my undergraduate at the University of Michigan. Their guidance was instrumental in shaping my research interests and career aspirations.

I am actively seeking PhD opportunities in Robotics for Fall 2026. If you are recruiting or think my background is a good fit, please reach out!
