(Chris) Do

I am a Researcher at VinRobotics 🇻🇳 working on Embodied AI 🦾 with Prof. An Thai Le.

I previously graduated from the School of Computer Science, Peking University 🇨🇳 where I worked with Prof. He Wang.

...

After graduation, I interned in the Bay Area 🇺🇸 where I take part in some interesting Humanoid Loco-Manipulation projects with Prof. Yue Wang (USC). During my time at Galbot, I was also a member of a joint humanoid research lab co-led by Prof. Li Yi (Tsinghua). Long ago, I had a wonderful time interning at a quant firm with Dr. Luan Tran.

Research

Currently, I'm interested in General Robot Loco-Manipulation with a strong emphasis on how to efficiently combine sim2real with real-world demonstrations for developing scalable robotics frameworks. Towards this goal, I'm exploring the applications of Large Model with strong prior vision-language knowledge, while pushing other important yet underexplored modalities like force.

Miscellaneous

I love taking photos 📷 Check out my gallery 🖼️

I speak Vietnamese 🇻🇳, Mandarin Chinese 🇨🇳, English 🦅, and Russian 🇷🇺

About my name: Moving from one country to another makes my name ending up having so many variations. My Vietnamese name is Đỗ Tấn Dũng, pronounced like Dzung as in my publishing name. Then Russian people would call me До or Зунг depending how well they know me. Then in China, I need to choose another Chinese name, 杜迅勇 (Du Xunyong). In case you're not sure how to pronounce my name, just call me Chris!
