Bowen Jiang

I am a PhD student at UT Austin, advised by Prof. Roberto Martín-Martín. My current research focuses on dexterous manipulation.

From 2022 to 2024, I was a Master's student at the Robotics Institute (RI) at Carnegie Mellon University, advised by Prof. David Held and mentored by Wenxuan Zhou. My research focused on reinforcement learning and manipulation.

Prior to CMU, I earned my B.S. in Engineering at Harvey Mudd College with distinction in 2022, with a concentration in Visual Arts.

POIS: Policy-Oriented Instance Segmentation for Ambidextrous Robot Picking


Guangyun Xu*, Yi Tao*, Bowen Jiang*, Peng Wang, Jun Zhong
IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) 2021, 2021
code / website /

We propose policy-oriented Instance Segmentation for Ambidextrous Robot Picking, which predicts a pair of target masks allowing ambidextrous robots to pick objects in cluttered scenes without mutual interference.
