Yuke Zhu is an Associate Professor in the Computer Science Department at the University of Texas at Austin, where he directs the Robot Perception and Learning Lab, and concurrently serves as Director and Distinguished Research Scientist at NVIDIA. He co-leads NVIDIA's Generalist Embodied Agent Research (GEAR) group alongside Jim Fan, focusing on foundation models for embodied agents in virtual and physical worlds. He is best known for his work on robot learning and embodied AI, including the creation of the robosuite simulation framework and his role in developing NVIDIA's GR00T humanoid robot foundation model. He earned his PhD from Stanford University under the supervision of Fei-Fei Li and Silvio Savarese.
“Fei-Fei Li brought many students who have also devoted themselves to robotics research — like Zhuoyu and Jim Fan, both Fei-Fei's students — they're leading NVIDIA's Gear Lab, overseeing how to do robotics at NVIDIA.”
