Yuhai Wang

I am a Master’s student at the University of Southern California (USC), working with Prof. Daniel Seita in the SLURM Lab since September, 2023. Before joining USC, I was a Research Intern at DISCOVER Lab, Tsinghua University, advised by Xinliang Zhang and Prof. Guyue Zhou. I earned my Bachelor’s degree from the School of Computer Science and Technology at Tiangong University (TGU), where I worked with Prof. Xuan Xiao.


I am particularly interested in the intersection of (i)Mobile Manipulation and (ii)Robot Learning, with a current focus on whole-body control (WBC) for quadruped robots.
