About
Shuran Song's lab co-developed Diffusion Policy, a widely adopted method for learning robot behaviors from demonstrations, and the Universal Manipulation Interface (UMI), a handheld gripper for collecting training data outside the lab. Earlier, she co-created the ShapeNet and SUN RGB-D 3D datasets.
