Towards Artificial General Intelligence

I received my Ph.D. from the Institute of Software, Chinese Academy of Sciences, where my research covered real-time systems, embedded AI, and reinforcement learning. I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. Ying Qiao at the Human-Computer Interaction Technology and Intelligent Information Processing Laboratory.

I previously worked with Prof. Junliang Xing at the Institute of Automation, CAS. We placed 3rd and 4th in the CIG 2017 and AIIDE 2018 StarCraft AI competitions. I am a Grandmaster-level StarCraft player and passionate about applying AI to games.

Building Systems That Learn in the Real World

I work on embodied intelligence at the point where models meet the physical world. My current focus is building agents that can understand goals, interact with robots, and improve through feedback from real environments.

My work spans the full loop from human demonstrations and robot data to vision-language models, vision-language-action policies, and embodied agents. I am interested in how models can connect perception, reasoning, planning, and action to make robots more capable and adaptable.

I also explore systems that combine agents, tools, and real robots in a continuous process of learning and refinement. This includes robot manipulation, navigation, task decomposition, memory, tool use, and the interfaces that allow models to work reliably with physical systems.

The goal is not simply to make a robot follow a policy, but to build a system that can understand why a policy failed, change it, and try again.

Ultimately, I want to build embodied systems that can learn from experience, reason about their own behavior, and gradually become more useful in the real world.

让具身智能在真实世界中持续学习

我主要从事具身智能研究,关注如何让模型真正参与机器人的感知与行动。当前的重点,是构建能够理解任务目标、与机器人协作,并根据真实环境反馈持续改进的智能体。

我的工作贯穿从人类示范和机器人数据,到视觉-语言模型、视觉-语言-动作策略以及具身 Agent 的完整过程。我希望让模型更好地连接感知、推理、规划与行动,从而提升机器人的能力和适应性。

此外,我也在探索由 Agent、工具和真实机器人组成的持续学习系统,涉及机器人操作、导航、任务拆解、记忆与工具调用,以及模型与物理系统之间的可靠连接。

我关注的不只是让机器人执行既定策略,更希望让系统理解失败的原因,主动调整策略,然后再次尝试。

最终,我希望构建能够从经验中学习、反思自身行为,并在真实世界中不断变得更有用的具身系统。
