For the Purdue AI Research Showcase I helpedㄇ present a teleoperation rig that pairs a UR5 arm and a dexterous hand with an Apple Vision Pro. The operator’s hand and head motion map onto the robot, turning natural human movement into precise robot action.

Beyond the live demo, the real value of the setup is as a data-collection pipeline: it captures clean, high-quality demonstrations of delicate manipulation that can train downstream imitation-learning policies, connecting directly to my work on visuotactile manipulation.
