About me

I am an incoming Ph.D. student at Tsinghua Shenzhen International Graduate School. My research focuses on embodied AI, especially dexterous hand manipulation and real-world reinforcement learning. I work in the Artificial Intelligence of Things Group under the supervision of Prof. Xinlei Chen and Prof. Chao Yu. Before that, I was an undergraduate in the Department of Computer Science at Peking University, where I mainly studied 3D vision and general dexterous grasping.

Research Experience

Mar. 2024 - Jul. 2024

PKU-Galbot Joint Lab

Under the guidance of senior Jiayi Chen, I read research papers, organized 3D assets, and optimized the grasp generation pipeline.

Sep. 2024 - May 2025

PKU-AgiBot Joint Lab

Under the guidance of senior Jiyao Zhang and senior Tianhao Wu, I studied representation learning for cross-embodiment general dexterous hand grasping in cluttered scenes and published CADGrasp.

Nov. 2025 - Jan. 2026

Jingdong Jingang Project Team

I post-trained and deployed the RDT-2 model on a dual-arm robot, and cleaned OpenX-Embodiment data.

Feb. 2026 - Jun. 2026

PsiBot

I studied real-world reinforcement learning for dexterous hands and published LAMP.

CADGrasp: Learning Contact and Collision Aware General Dexterous Grasping in Cluttered Scenes

Jiyao Zhang*, Zhiyuan Ma*, Tianhao Wu, Zeyuan Chen, Hao Dong

Accepted by NeurIPS 2025

We propose CADGrasp, which learns a contact- and collision-aware intermediate representation as a constraint, and further obtains the dexterous grasp pose with an optimization method to achieve single-view dexterous hand grasping in cluttered scenes. Our method can be easily transferred to zero-shot robotic hands, showing cross-embodiment generalization ability. Accepted by NeurIPS 2025.
