About me

Hi there! My name is Erdemt Bao, and I am currently a second-year master’s student at the School of Mechanical Science and Engineering (MSE), Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST). Before my master’s studies, I obtained my bachelor’s degree from the School of Automation at Wuhan University of Technology in June 2024.

My research interests include Robot Learning. My current research mainly focuses on Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models, Imitation Learning, and Robot Skill Learning.

Please feel free to contact me via email at baoerdemt366@gmail.com if you are interested in my work or would like to collaborate with me.😄
I am currently seeking opportunities to apply for U.S. PhD programs for Fall 2027.
