About Me

I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of Texas at Austin. I am advised by Prof. Peter Stone. My research focuses on learning robot manipulation from scalable data sources such as human videos. I have also interned at NVIDIA Research, working with Bowen Wen and Stan Birchfield.

  1. Cheng-Chun Hsu, Peter Stone
    Conference on Robot Learning (CoRL), 2026.

    ELA learns robot policies from abundant action-free video plus only a handful of action-labeled demonstrations, by learning latent actions and the policy end-to-end.

  2. Video-π: Learning a Video-Conditioned Policy from Unaligned Human and Robot Data
    Cheng-Chun Hsu, Anonymous Authors
    In submission.

    We learn a video-conditioned policy that lets robots perform tasks shown in human videos, trained from human and robot data that are not paired or aligned.

  3. Cheng-Chun Hsu, Bowen Wen, Jie Xu, Yashraj Narang, Xiaolong Wang, Yuke Zhu, Joydeep Biswas, Stan Birchfield
    International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), 2025.

    We enable robots to learn everyday tasks from human video demonstrations by usinbg object-centric representation. By predicting future object pose trajectories, SPOT achieves strong generalization capabilities with only eight human video demonstrations.

  4. Cheng-Chun Hsu, Ben Abbatematteo, Zhenyu Jiang, Yuke Zhu, Roberto Martín-Martín, Joydeep Biswas
    Mobile Manipulation Workshop at ICRA, 2024.
    Spotlight Presentation
    We enable mobile manipulators to perform long-horizon tasks by autonomously exploring and building scene-level articulation models of articulated objects. It maps the scene, infers object properties, and plans sequential interactions for accurate real-world manipulation.

  5. Cheng-Chun Hsu, Zhenyu Jiang, Yuke Zhu
    International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), 2023.

    We develop an interactive perception approach for robots to build indoor scene articulation models by efficiently discovering and characterizing articulated objects through coupled affordance prediction and articulation inference.

  6. Zhenyu Jiang, Cheng-Chun Hsu, Yuke Zhu
    Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), 2022.
    Oral Presentation
    We develop an approach that builds digital twins of articulated objects by learning their articulation models and 3D geometry from visual observations before and after interaction.
