Welcome to my homepage 🎓

I'm Guo Changqing

• I am a Master's student at Tsinghua University, advised by Prof. Wenbo Ding. Currently, I am also a visiting student at École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), advised by Prof. Auke Ijspeert. In 2024, I received my BEng in Robotics Engineering (English Program) from South China University of Technology, advised by Prof. Hongjie Jiang.

• I have been working on novel robotic system designs, aiming to help robots better perceive and act in the real world. I have led research published in T-RO, T-Mech, RA-L, and others. View publications →

• I am looking for PhD opportunities starting in Fall 2027 and am open to collaborating with researchers worldwide.

Research Interests

• Bio-inspired Robotics: Designing efficient and adaptive robotic systems by translating principles from natural mechanisms and behaviors into innovative engineering solutions.

• Tactile Perception: Developing tactile intelligence across sensing, representation, and learning to enable more capable and adaptive physical interaction with real-world environments.
