#35 | Haoru Xue: Humanoids to be part of people’s everyday life | Kinematic Conversations

In today's episode (#35), I speak with ⁠Haoru Xue⁠, a PhD student at ⁠University of California, Berkeley⁠, specializing in humanoid whole-body control:
Haoru has had an exciting journey in robotics, working alongside top researchers at Carnegie Mellon and UC Berkeley. He’s been involved in projects like autonomous racing, where his team earned top spots in the Indy Autonomous Challenge.
Beyond his research, Haoru is really focused on building robots that can make a real impact, something I can totally relate to. We also talked about his perspective on the open-source community in robotics.
He shared how the vibe in the open-source world is still very much about helping each other out, even with all the competition. It’s something that really stands out in the field.
