VinMotion Intelligence Pioneers Seminar #9: Toward Generalist Humanoids: Learning from Human and Robot Experience

As humanoid robots move toward more general-purpose capabilities, a key challenge remains: How can we build robots that acquire transferable skills, perform reliably in the physical world, and continuously improve through experience?
Join the next VinMotion Intelligence Pioneers Seminar featuring Prof. Guanya Shi, Assistant Professor at the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University and leader of the Learning and Control for Agile Robotics (LeCAR) Lab.
In this seminar, Prof. Shi will present his research agenda toward generalist humanoids through learning from human and robot experience. He will explore how physics-grounded learning can translate human motion and interaction into robot skills, spanning agile whole-body behaviors and dexterous manipulation.
The seminar will examine how grounding human data in physics and turning real-world robot experience into continual improvement can contribute to building humanoid robots that are broadly capable, physically agile, and adaptable to changing environments.
Key topics:
- Learning transferable robot skills from human motion and interaction
- Grounding human data in physics for agile whole-body behaviors and dexterous manipulation
- Improving robot capabilities through real-world experience
- Model-based adaptation and reinforcement learning for humanoid robots
- AI agents for organizing experimentation and guiding skill improvement
This seminar is intended for researchers, engineers, students, and anyone interested in AI, Robotics, and autonomous systems.
Time & Date: 9:00 – 10:30 AM ICT (UTC +7) | Friday, October 16th, 2026
