About

Ruhan He is a rising researcher at the intersection of robotics, manipulation, and autonomous navigation, with a focus on enabling robots to handle complex, deformable objects and operate in constrained environments. His work addresses fundamental challenges in robotic garment manipulation, where he developed a novel policy that strategically selects between dynamic fling and quasi-static pick-and-place actions to unfold garments into a specific orientation—a critical step for downstream folding tasks. This contribution, published in 2023, has already garnered 13 citations for its practical approach to a notoriously difficult problem. He further advanced deformable object manipulation with ShakingBot (2024, 8 citations), a dynamic manipulation framework for bagging tasks that uses perception to identify key regions of plastic bags. In parallel, He has made significant strides in autonomous navigation, proposing an improved ant colony optimization algorithm for smooth and efficient path planning of car-like mobile robots in narrow, large-scale scenes (2024, 12 citations). His work is notable for bridging the gap between theoretical planning algorithms and real-world robotic applications, particularly in handling non-rigid materials. With a growing citation record and innovative frameworks, Ruhan He is establishing himself as a key contributor to the future of dexterous robotic manipulation.
