My main research question is: "how to build generalist robots that can be applied to any tasks?". I believe offline reinforcement learning with large-scale data is a promising approach, but many real-world robotic datasets lack reward annotations. To address this, I am interested in reward-free learning from offline data, especially through offline and offline-to-online RL, unsupervised RL, self-supervised RL, and world models.
