Kay - Liyiming Ke
Hi 👋 I work at Physical Intelligence
researching on Machine Learning for Robot Manipulation.
During my PhD at University of Washington, I built a chopsticks-welding robot to showcase data-driven fine
motor skills.
My path to robotics started unconventionally—I majored in Economics before diving into AI, with internships at
Meta AI, Microsoft Research, and Google Search along the way. I’m driven by curiosity and currently I aim to
design robot policies that master Robustness, Precision, and Dexterity.
Liyiming Ke is a full stack robotist at Physical Intelligence researching on Machine Learning for Robot Manipulation. She earned her Ph.D. from the University of Washington with her thesis titled "Data-driven Fine Manipulation". She built a chopsticks-welding robot that demonstrate fine motor skills and developed theoretical frameworks for robot learning. She has led human-robot interactive demonstration at AAAS in 2020 and has been selected as one of the Rising Stars in EECS 2023.
