Biography

To interact with people in the United State of America without knowing English, I relied on non-verbal communications to infer people's intention. Inspired by such life experience, I aim to develop an artificial social intelligent system that can socialize with people by predicting their intentions through observation and interactions. I hope that, when robots have the capability to understand people, people and robots can collaborate to solve challenging problems such as climate change and environmental crises.
