Boyuan Chen

Assistant Professor in the Thomas Lord Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science

<p>My research focuses on Robotics, Computer Vision and Machine Learning. I am also broadly interested in AI for science. At Duke, I lead the <a href="http://generalroboticslab.com/">General Robotics Lab</a>.</p>
<p>I am interested in developing generalist robots that learn, act and improve by perceiving and interacting with the complex and dynamic world. Ultimately, I hope that robots and machines can be equipped with high-level cognitive skills to assist people and unleash human creativity.<br /><br />I obtained my PhD in Computer Science at Columbia University with <a href="https://www.hodlipson.com/">Hod Lipson</a>.</p>
