Puhao Li | 李浦豪

I am currently a Ph.D. student in Dept. of Automation, Tsinghua University advised by Prof. Song-Chun Zhu. I am also a research intern in General Vision Lab at Beijing Institute for General Artificial Intelligence (BIGAI), and I am grateful to be advised by Dr. Tengyu Liu and Dr. Siyuan Huang. Previously, I obtained my B.Eng. degree from Tsinghua University in 2023.

My research interests lie in the intersection of robotics manipulation and 3D computer vision. My long-term goal is to develop embodied intelligent systems capable of interpreting human intent and naturally interacting with people in various environments, learning reusable and endless low-level skill sets and high-level common sense. Currently, I am working on 3D scene understanding and robotic manipulation learning, pushing the boundaries of how robots operate within complex settings.

	ManipTrans: Efficient Dexterous Bimanual Manipulation Transfer via Residual Learning Kailin Li, Puhao Li, Tengyu Liu, Yuyang Li, Siyuan Huang CVPR 2025 [Paper] [Code] [Data] [Project Page] We introduce ManipTrans, a novel method for efficiently transferring human skills to dexterous robotic hands in simulation. Leveraging ManipTrans, we contribute DexManipNet, a large-scale dexterous manipulation dataset with diverse tasks.
	MetaScenes: Towards Automated Replica Creation for Real-world 3D Scans Huangyue Yu, Baoxiong Jia, Yixin Chen, Yandan Yang, Puhao Li, Rongpeng Su, Jiaxin Li, Qing Li, Wei Liang, Song-Chun Zhu, Tengyu Liu, Siyuan Huang CVPR* 2025 [Paper] [Code] [Data] [Project Page] We present MetaScenes, a large-scale 3D scene dataset constructed from real-world scans. It features 706 scenes with 15,366 objects across a wide range of types, with realistic layouts, visually accurate appearances and physical plausibility.
	PhysPart: Physically Plausible Part Completion for Interactable Objects Rundong Luo, Haoran Geng, Congyue Deng, Puhao Li, Zan Wang, Baoxiong Jia, Leonidas Guibas, Siyuan Huang ICRA 2025 [Paper] [Project Page] We propose a diffusion-based part generation model that utilizes geometric conditioning through classifier-free guidance and formulates physical constraints as a set of stability and mobility losses to guide the sampling process.
	PhyRecon: Physically Plausible Neural Scene Reconstruction Junfeng Ni, Yixin Chen, Bohan Jing, Nan Jiang, Bing Wang, Bo Dai, Puhao Li, Yixin Zhu, Song-Chun Zhu, Siyuan Huang NeurlPS 2024 [Paper] [Code] [Project Page] We introduce PhyRecon, which enables physically plausible 3D scene reconstruction.
