Hi, I'm Wenjin Fu

Machine Learning Engineer at OpenMind · San Francisco

I build perception and learning systems that help robots understand the space around them and act reliably on real hardware. Before OpenMind I worked on image analysis at Apple. I hold an M.S. in ECE from Carnegie Mellon and a B.S. in CSE from Ohio State. More about me →

What I work on

Research interests

Robot Perception

Detection, recognition and sensor fusion that run on real robots, from data strategy to fleet deployment.

Spatial Intelligence

Open-vocabulary 3D maps: knowing what each object is, where it is, and whether it will still be there tomorrow.

Efficient On-Device AI

Compressing and adapting LLMs and vision models to meet latency, memory and energy budgets on the edge.
