Yue Wang
Yue Wang is an Assistant Professor in the Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science at the University of Southern California and the founding PI of the USC Geometry, Vision, and Learning (GVL) Lab. He earned his PhD from MIT and his research spans 3D computer vision, robot learning, and neural scene representations for embodied intelligence. He is best known for Dynamic Graph CNN, a widely adopted architecture for 3D point cloud processing, and has co-authored work on large-scale humanoid manipulation datasets. He has received the Powell Faculty Research Award and the Toyota Young Faculty Researcher Award.
“This paper is a dataset and infrastructure paper, not a breakthrough in robot capabilities. But it matters strategically: it establishes the first large-scale, multimodal, task-diverse benchmark for full-body humanoid manipulation.”
