Ziwei Wang

Ziwei Wang is currently an assistant professor in School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Nanyang Technological University. Before joining NTU, he was a postdoc fellow in Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University, with Prof. Changliu Liu. He received the Ph.D and the B.S degrees from the Department of Automation, Tsinghua University in 2023 and the Department of Physics, Tsinghua University in 2018 respectively. His research goal is to design foundation models (FMs) for robotics including grounding FMs to the physical scene and deploying FMs in resource-limited robots. He has published over 30 scientific papers in TPAMI, IJCV, RAL, CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, NeurIPS, IROS and ICRA. He serves as a regular reviewer member for a variety of conferences and journals.

I am looking for self-motivated PhD/Postdoc/Master/research assistant. If you are interested in joining our lab, please drop me an email at ziwei.wang@ntu.edu.sg with your CV.

Recent Works

	EmbodiedSAM: Online Segment Any 3D Thing in Real Time Xiuwei Xu, Huangxing Chen, Linqing Zhao, Ziwei Wang, Jie Zhou, Jiwen Lu Arxiv, 2024 [PDF] [Website] [Code] [Video] We propose an online Segment Anything Model for real-time 3D instance segmentation to process the streaming RGB-D videos acquired in diverse embodied tasks.
	Embodied Instruction Following in Unknown Environments Zhenyu Wu, Ziwei Wang, Xiuwei Xu, Jiwen Lu, Haibin Yan Arxiv, 2024 [PDF] [Website] [Code and Dataset (coming soon)] Our embodied agent efficiently explores the unknown environment to generate feasible plans with existing objects to accomplish abstract instructions. which can complete complex human instructions such as making breakfast, tidying bedrooms and cleaning bathrooms in house-level scenes.
	ManiCM: Real-time 3D Diffusion Policy via Consistency Model for Robotic Manipulation Guanxing Lu, Zifeng Gao, Tianxing Chen, Wenxun Dai, Ziwei Wang, Yansong Tang Arxiv, 2024 [PDF] [Website] [Code] We propose a real-time robotic manipulation model that imposes the consistency constraint to the diffusion process, so that the model can generate robot actions in only one-step inference with high success rate. We achieve 16ms average runtime for 3D diffusion policy generation.
