CoRL 2025

TrackVLA is a vision-language-action model capable of simultaneous object recognition and visual tracking, trained on a dataset of 1.7 million samples. It demonstrates robust tracking, long-horizon tracking, and cross-domain generalization across diverse challenging environments.

Experience

Miscellaneous

Outside of research, I have several hobbies.

  • I enjoy playing basketball, and I am a huge fan of the NBA. My favorite player is Luka DončiΔ‡.
  • I love performing on the trombone. I am an active member of the Symphony Orchestra at my high school, Experimental High School attached to Beijing Normal University. Check out our recent performance.
  • I am a speedcuber. I participated in several speedcubing competitions held by the World Cube Association (WCA). Check out my WCA personal profile.
  • I love going on road trips. Checkout the 4 day California round trip book I just finished. See you down the road!
