Welcome to the SRL lab at Seoul National University! We develop scalable methods that enable robots to master complex real-world tasks through diverse data, prior knowledge, and physical interaction. Our research spans reinforcement learning, imitation learning, and world modeling, with a focus on humanoid whole-body control and dexterous manipulation toward general-purpose robot intelligence.
