Ruihan Wu

Hey there!

I am Ruihan Wu, a senior undergraduate in Information Engineering at Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech).

At Southern University of Science and Technology, I work with Prof. Shuxiang Guo at the Guo Lab. I spent a semester at the University of Pennsylvania as an exchange student, and later I was lucky to work with Prof. Haimin Hu at Johns Hopkins University, where I joined the Learning, Control, and Safety Robotics (LCSR) Lab and the Alliance AI Lab.

My research interests broadly center on robotics and control. To me, exploring robotics is ultimately a process of understanding human nature and ourselves.

Deep Hydro-Sim bridges a high-fidelity underwater simulator and a fast rigid-body engine by learning residual hydrodynamic forces from Stonefish and injecting them into MuJoCo as a real-time plugin. The result improves open-loop replay fidelity and stabilizes downstream SAC training for AUV control without sacrificing throughput.
