I am a Master student in Artificial intelligence at Tsinghua University, advised by Houde Liu and Linqi Ye. Previously, I completed my Bachelor's in Mechanical design and automation at XiDian University, advised by Jiaji Wu.

My research area include Legged/Humanoid Robot. I care about and continue to think about robots and embodied intelligence in real application scenarios to achieve commercial closed loop.

Robots might not be ready to take over the world, but they're on their way to mastering the coffee run. If you're interested in diving deeper into my research or swapping entrepreneurial insights, let's connect!

  Selected Projects
27 Dofs Humanoid robot and Dual arm robot with dexterous hands
2024 ZereX, Founder
The project is fully self-developed, including structure, motor, hardware and algorithms., tailored to flexible manufacturing and education. Robots operate on a fully data-driven learning algorithms, and the team achieved closed-loop validation from algorithms to hardware in just two months.
Robot operating system —— AliothOS
2021 - now, Founder
The os integrates both hardware and software systems, focusing on core innovations in kernel design, communication mechanisms, and deployment processes to address market issues like unstable communications and complex setups. For developers, it provides a built-in algorithm library and constructs the Alioth robotics community across hardware, cloud services, and algorithm ecosystems.

Deep Power——Quadruped Robot of Multi-Terrain Locomotion
2019 - 2020, Founder
We built a quadruped robot with upper-mounted motors and timing belt-driven legs, using aluminum and 3D-printed parts. It features MPC+WBC for motion control and uses Intel's D435i and RoboSense's 32-line LiDAR for perception. Applied in unstructured special scenarios
