Josh Tran
I'm Josh, a MS student at the University of Washington. I am currently researching RL and IL for robotic manipulation at the WEIRD Lab under
Prof. Abhishek Gupta. During undergrad, I enjoyed two years working on state estimation for Flying
Insect Robots (FIRs) at the AIR Lab under Prof. Sawyer Fuller.

ResearchI'm interested in reinforcement learning and continual learning. |

OmniReset: Emergent Dexterity via Diverse Resets and Large-Scale Reinforcement Learning
Patrick Yin*, Tyler Westenbroek*, Zhengyu Zhang, Joshua Tran, Ignacio Dagnino, Eeshani Shilamkar, Numfor Mbiziwo-Tiapo, Simran Bagaria, Xinlei Liu, Galen Mullins, Andrey Kolobov, Abhishek Gupta (* indicates equal contribution) ICLR 2026 project page / arXiv We leverage large-scale RL and diverse resets to solve dexterous, contact-rich manipulation tasks with no reward engineering or demos. We distill to RGB and show zero-shot sim2real transfer. |
