My name is Xinkai Jiang, a PhD student in Intuitive Robot Lab (IRL) and Autonomous Learning Robots (ALR) Lab at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany. I am supervised by Prof. Dr. Rudolf Lioutikov and Prof. Dr. Gerhard Neumann. Before that, I obtained both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Mechanical Engineering from Harbin Institute of Technology, China.

My research interests focus on Interactive Imitation Learning, Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), and Robotics, especially how to use Mixed Reality (MR) Technology to enhance the Human-Robot Interaction for Robot Learning.
