Jiahe Xu (Jay)

I am the CTO of Pinocchio AI, where we build realistic robots that interact with people through lifelike, animal-inspired behaviors and fit naturally into daily life. My research focuses on object-centric manipulation, bimanual manipulation, learning from human video, and 3D robot learning.

Previously, I was a systems engineer for sensors, systems, and software at CMU. I worked on sensor calibration for pinhole, fisheye, stereo, thermal cameras, IMU, and LiDAR; teleoperation for real-to-sim and real-to-real systems; real-time robotics systems with ROS1 and ROS2; and 3D scene reconstruction. I have worked with Jetson Orin/Xavier, NUC, iOS, iPhone, and Vision Pro platforms; Boston Dynamics Spot, custom RC cars, custom quadrotors, Franka Panda, Mobile Aloha, and UR5 robots; and simulation environments including PyBullet, SAPIEN, Isaac Gym/Isaac Lab, MuJoCo, and Genesis.

My goal is to build intelligent systems that can adapt to almost any robot from only a handful of demonstrations.

Recently, I have also been working on quant trading. I posted my records at the bottom of the page. Contact me if you want to join the quant team.
