Shuxin Cao

I am a Ph.D. student in Robotics at Georgia Institute of Technology, advised by Prof. Animesh Garg. I obtained my B.Eng. in Electrical & Electronic Engineering, with a Minor in Mathematics, from Nanyang Technological University, where I was fortunate to work with Prof. Lihua Xie and Prof. Bihan Wen.

I believe robots should learn from us without being bound by us. My research is on enabling robots to generalize from human experience into intelligence that surpasses their human supervisors.
