Full Biography

Qihao (Keith) Lin 林祺皓 is an M.S. student at Carnegie Mellon University. His research focuses on assistive robotics and physical intelligence for real-world interaction, including robot perception and manipulation, deformable object reasoning, visual-tactile sensing, and human-centered AI systems.

At CMU, he works with the Robotic Caregiving and Human Interaction Lab on assistive robot systems for physical interaction. He received his B.S. degree in Aerospace Engineering from Sun Yat-sen University, where he worked on robotic perception and manipulation in the Robotics and Intelligent Sensing Lab advised by Professor Chongkun Xia.

His research projects span visual-tactile transparent fragment reconstruction, robotic cloth manipulation benchmarks, assistive robot behavior, and Chinese Sign Language translation systems. His broader goal is to build intelligent systems that operate robustly in physical environments and serve meaningful accessibility needs.
