Biography


I'm Luzhe Sun, a second-year Ph.D. student at TTIC. My research focuses on Robotics Planning and Diffusion Model. Prior to joining TTIC, I completed my Masters Program in Computer Science at the University of Chicago. I studied at the School of Information Science at Xiamen University as an undergraduate, where I conducted research on graph theory with Professor Zhihong Zhang.

If you have shared interests in Robotics especially in diffusion model and foundation model, you're welcome to email me. I'm always open to potential collaborations and inspiring conversations.

In my free time, I really enjoy photography and painting Chinese paintings. I also play the erhu, but not as distinguished as painting.

Projects


Embodies ChatGPT | Invited demonstration at MSI(Chicago) Robot Block Party 2023

We implemented the Code as Policies algorithm on the UR5 robot. The robot is able to respond to the user’s voice command and execute the corresponding task. The project was presented during the 2023 National Robotics Week at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, and at the University of Chicago for the 2023 South Side Science Festival.

AI Transnational Free Travel Assistant APP 2019 (Xiamen University)

With the economic development and the improvement of living standards, people's demand for spiritual culture has further increased. Tourism has become people's basic way of life and one of the best choices for people to use leisure time. In recent years, the booming transnational free travel has gradually entered the scope of public acceptance. The accompanying problem is that there are inconveniences in tourism, accommodation consumption and other fields due to the relationship of language. The "Self-Travel Assistant" APP is designed based on this situation and is an auxiliary application for tourists from China and Japan to travel independently. Using modern AI technology to assist tourists, provide and recommend information on local attractions, restaurants, accommodation, transportation, etc.
