I am a BOYA Assistant Professor at School of Computer Science, Peking University, where I lead PKU-Agibot Lab. My current research focuses on embodied AI, robotics, large models and computer vision. The goal is to find the scaling law to create a cost-effective and autonomous robot system, not limited to industrial applications and home assistance scenarios, aiming to make AI benefits a global scale.

Additionally, I am fortunate to serve as an Area Chair or Senior Program Committee member for CVPR, NeurIPS and AAAI conferences, and as the Associate Editor of ICRA and Machine Intelligence Research. I received the MIR Outstanding Associate Editor Award. Also, I have been involved in open source AI system for a long time, I lead several open source projects, such as TensorLayer GitHub Stars and OpenMLsys GitHub Stars , and have won the Best Open Source Software Award at ACM Multimedia, as well as the OpenI Outstanding Project Award twice.

Before joining PKU, I obtained my Ph.D. degree from Imperial College London under the supervision of Yike Guo. Prior to my Ph.D., I received a MSc degree with distinction from Imperial, and a first-class BEng degree from the University of Central Lancashire. Furthermore, I have founded a startup focused on AI-driven hardware between 2012 and 2015.
