About

Jiannan Li is a researcher at the forefront of human-robot interaction and telepresence systems, with a focus on enabling seamless physical skill demonstration and remote collaboration. His work bridges the gap between human instruction and robotic execution, leveraging cutting-edge technologies like foundation models and interactive camera systems. Li's major contributions include developing "ASTEROIDS," a system using swarms of mini-telepresence robots for physical skill tutoring (24 citations), which addresses spatial awareness challenges in remote teaching. He also created "Stargazer," an interactive camera robot that captures how-to videos by interpreting subtle instructor cues (10 citations), enhancing tutorial production quality. More recently, his work on "ImageInThat" explores manipulating images to convey user instructions to robots (4 citations), pushing boundaries in autonomous task execution. Li's research has been recognized for its practical impact, with his language-driven robotic telepresence interface guiding multiple remote users in physical tasks (1 citation). His innovative approaches to combining robotics with intuitive human interaction are shaping the future of remote education and collaborative work, making complex physical skills accessible across distances.
