Renyuan LIU (刘稔远)
Nice to Meet U Here!
I am a third-year undergraduate student, fortunate to be advised by Prof. Qinbing Fu at the Machine Life and Intelligence Research Centre, Guangzhou University, and Prof. Pengcheng Liu at the Computational Autonomous Learning Systems Lab, University of York.
I am actively looking for research position for Fall 2026, and would be grateful for any opportunity to contribute and learn. You can find my CV here: RENYUAN LIU (2025.07.28 Updated).
My research interest focuses on the convergence of robotics and biology
Bio-inspired models and biologically-plausible mechanisms for life-long learning
I am dedicating my efforts to exploring the biological foundations of life-long learning observed in animals, and applying these principles to the Franka Emika Panda robotic arm and the TurtleBot 3 equipped with the OpenManipulator-X.
Bio-Vision-Inspired Motion Perception
I am transfixed by computational neuroscience, for collision detection.
I am working to understand and model insect visual circuits, which exhibit robust and efficient real-time perception, and to apply these principles to real-world artificial systems, e.g. the TurtleBot 4 equipped with an RGB-D camera and the micro ground robot Colias IV .
Selected Code for neuro-embodied micro-robot Colias:
- Fly Visuomotor-Inspired Attention-LPLC2 Model (independently, 2k lines of code in C);
- Multi-Attention LPLC2 (mLPLC2) Neural Network Model (independently, 3k lines of code in C/C++);
- Locust Vision-Inspired Optimized-LGMD Model (independently, 1k lines of code in C).
