About Me

I am a member of the Robot Integration Laboratory, Faculty of Information Science and Technology, Beijing University of Technology. In the early stage of my undergraduate studies, my research focused on the applications of foundation models such as large language models and vision-language models. Later, I oriented my research toward embodied intelligence. Under the supervision of Lei Zhang, I work on robot dexterous manipulation, and under the guidance of Tongtong Feng, I conduct research on the generalization of human motion. These constitute my two primary research areas.

Furthermore, I am applying for graduate positions. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested in potential collaboration.

Interests: Robotics, HCI, Computer Vision, Multimodal Learning.

ActAtlas: Learning Adaptive Execution Atlases for Long-Horizon Robot Manipulation Robotics

Haidong Huang*, Yutong Shen*, Heng Zhang, Xingwei Chen, Haiyue Zhu, Jun Ma, Ding Zhao, Xiaocong Li (* equal contribution)

SubmissionUnder review. 2027

We proposes an imitation‑learning framework that obtains adaptive execution anchors via self‑supervised learning to construct an execution‑flow graph, and conditions a diffusion policy with this graph to address the challenge where locally similar states demand distinct actions under different contexts in long‑horizon robotic manipulation tasks, achieving superior performance across multiple simulation benchmarks.

Consequence-Quotient Flow Matching for Robot Manipulation Robotics

Yutong Shen*, Haidong Huang*, Haoxuan Xu, Heng Zhang, Yiqing Yin, Lei Zhang, Xiaocong Li (* equal contribution)

SubmissionUnder review. 2027

We propose CQ‑FM, which constructs a consequence‑quotient space based on task outcomes, pulls back the consequence‑aware metric into the action space via Jacobians, reshapes the Flow‑Matching loss during training and enables closed‑loop correction at inference to improve the task success rate and contact stability of vision‑language‑action robot manipulation policies.

Under ReviewUnder review. 2027

We propose a whole-body control framework for humanoid robots that mitigates cross-skill interference in high-DoF systems via Specialized Expert Policies (SEP), a VLM-supervised Intelligent Routing Mechanism (IRM), and latent dynamics model-based training-time optimization, achieving significant return improvements and faster convergence on HumanoidBench.

This paper proposes a biologically inspired dual-stream disentangled framework decoupling environmental scene representations and robot self-state motor encodings, equipped with three adaptive feature fusion strategies and a staged progressive training pipeline, which achieves remarkable cross-environment and cross-skill generalization for long-horizon human-scene interaction tasks and outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods on self-designed benchmarks and HumanoidBench with higher subtask success rates and execution efficiency.

Under ReviewUnder review. 2027

This paper proposes a condition-preserving 3D diffusion robotic manipulation policy built on a three-stage Rewriting-Routing-Recovery pipeline, which addresses the issue of critical discriminative geometric information being lost during the compression of 3D observations in contact-sensitive long-horizon tasks, achieving consistent performance gains across multiple robotic manipulation benchmarks with only a tiny increase in model parameters.
