What should a robot perceive, remember, and predict to act reliably in an unfamiliar environment?

4D world models for action

I develop models that generate visual futures together with corresponding robot actions. Making geometry and motion explicit lets the predicted future guide action generation and support consistency checks before execution.

Examples: S4NDBOX

Memory across views and time

I study how models retain useful information as viewpoints change and sequences grow longer. Geometric working memory supports multi-view spatial reasoning, while recurrent state-space memory carries temporal context through long-video generation.

Examples: GaMe, VideoSSM

Perception in changing environments

I develop methods for recovering scene geometry and keeping dense predictions up to date when lighting is difficult or RGB observations are sparse. Event measurements provide complementary evidence as the scene changes.

Examples: EAG3R, LiFR-Seg, LiFR v2
