Raymond Yu

Robot learning researcher

Hey there! I'm an undergraduate studying computer science at the University of Washington, advised by Abhishek Gupta in the WEIRD Lab.

My research focuses on teaching robots to learn from all kinds of data, including suboptimal demonstrations, vision data from the internet, and raw video, rather than relying on large amounts of clean, hand-collected robot data. I'm interested in systems that can squeeze useful behavior out of cheap, abundant, and imperfect data sources.

I'm applying for PhD programs beginning this fall, and would love to chat about research fit or potential collaborations.
