WELCOME TO MY HOME PAGE!欢迎来到我的主页！

I am an M.S. candidate in Mechanical Engineering at Dalian University of Technology and a former Special Research Student at The University of Tokyo. My research explores multimodal fusion of vision and sEMG for hand-motion understanding, human-intent perception, and dexterous teleoperation.

我是大连理工大学机械工程学院硕士研究生，曾赴东京大学交流。我的研究聚焦视觉与表面肌电的多模态融合，用于手部运动理解、人体意图感知与灵巧遥操作。

I believe human-robot interaction is shaped by more than technology. Aesthetics is also fundamental to how interaction is perceived and experienced. This belief connects my engineering research with my work on industrial design projects.我认为，人机交互不仅由技术塑造，美学同样影响交互被感知和体验的方式。因此，我也参与了多个工业设计项目，并将工程研究与产品美学贯穿于同一套实践之中。

Introduction研究简介

Continuous and accurate estimation of hand joint angles is important for intuitive human-machine interaction, yet a single sensing modality may not remain reliable across changing operating conditions. Egocentric RGB images provide hand appearance and spatial configuration, whereas forearm HD-sEMG captures muscle activation even when visual observations are degraded.连续、准确的手部关节角估计是实现直观人机交互的重要基础，但单一传感模态难以在不断变化的工作条件下始终保持可靠。第一视角 RGB 图像提供手部外观与空间构型信息，前臂高密度表面肌电则能在视觉信息受损时继续反映肌肉激活。

Method研究方法

We combine a Vision Transformer visual encoder, a Transformer-based EMG encoder, and a DoF-query fusion decoder to regress 20 hand joint angles from egocentric RGB images and 128-channel forearm HD-sEMG. An independent learnable query is assigned to each hand DoF, enabling joint-specific and context-adaptive integration of visual and EMG representations.我们结合视觉 Transformer 编码器、基于 Transformer 的肌电编码器与 DoF-query 融合解码器，从第一视角 RGB 图像和 128 通道前臂高密度表面肌电中回归 20 个手部关节角。每个手部自由度对应一个独立的可学习 query，从而实现面向关节、上下文自适应的视觉与肌电特征融合。

More accurate, stable estimation. Fusion reached an overall R² of 0.88 and an MAE of 2.79°, outperforming vision only (0.82 / 3.21°) and sEMG only (0.68 / 5.13°), while showing the smallest cross-subject range.

Interpretable, context-adaptive fusion. Separate DoF queries learned different modality-attention patterns for individual joints and motion phases. Vision preserved spatial hand configuration, while sEMG supplied complementary dynamic cues when occlusion, finger overlap, or motion blur weakened visual evidence.

更准确、更稳定的估计。 融合模型的整体 R² 达到 0.88，MAE 为 2.79°，优于仅视觉模型（0.82 / 3.21°）和仅肌电模型（0.68 / 5.13°），同时具有最小的跨受试者变化范围。

可解释、上下文自适应的融合。 独立的 DoF query 针对不同关节与运动阶段学习了不同的模态注意模式。视觉保留手部的空间构型；当遮挡、手指重叠或运动模糊削弱视觉证据时，肌电提供互补的动态线索。
