I will join Huawei Noah's Ark Lab (Hong Kong)

I am excited to announce that I will officially join Huawei Noah’s Ark Lab (Hong Kong) on September 4, 2023, as a researcher in robotics and embodied AI.

After careful consideration and discussions, I have discovered remarkable common interests with Huawei’s AI research team in Hong Kong. Together, we aim to leverage recent progress in large language models and robotics research to create intelligent and interactive robots. Our vision is to develop smart, assistive systems that not only possess cognitive capabilities but also interact with the physical world, similar to the way humans do.

The lab is located in the Hong Kong Science Park, a picturesque area nestled between mountains and the sea, near the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK).

Why Tmux?

A typical application of Tmux is remote work. Imagine that you ssh to your office machine and open a remote terminal to run programs. The SSH connection is suddenly broken for some reasons, e.g. poor signal, power cut, etc. As a result, all running processes are lost as the terminal session is closed.
