Biography

I am an Embodied AI researcher at X Square Robot, where I work with Hao Wang and Ruyi Gan on embodied intelligence manipulation models. We recently released the WALL-A model as part of the Great Wall (GW) series.

I hold an M.Phil. degree from the University of Hong Kong, where I conducted research under the supervision of Prof. Heming Cui, focusing on robot perception and motion planning. Prior to this, I graduated with a B.Eng. degree with First Class Honors from Lanzhou Jiaotong University. There, I had the privilege of being mentored by Prof. Jiuyuan Huo and was honored with the prestigious Tsung-Dao Lee Scholarship, an award granted annually to a single outstanding undergraduate.

In addition to my primary research, I am an active member of AnySyn3D, where I collaborate closely with Prof. Xiaoxiao Long. My professional experience also includes internships at Horizon Robotics under the guidance of Dr. Wei Yin, and at the CASIA.
