I am a Ph.D. student in the Institute for Artificial Intelligence at Peking University (PKU), advised by Prof. Yitao Liang. Before joining PKU, I received my MSc and BA degrees in Control Science and Technology from Beijing Institute of Technology. I work on building open-ended embodied agents with multi-task skills, including visual localization, task planning, and decision-making. In particular, I am interested in building and leveraging large pre-trained Foundation Models to improve the generalization of agent capabilities.
Recently, we have developed a series of open-world multi-task agents, including OmniJARVIS (pretrained end-to-end Vision-Language-Action models with self-supervised quantified tokenizer), JARVIS-1 (self-improving with multimodal memory), DEPS (interactive long-horizon planning agent), RAT (tool-use agent with retrieval-augmented thought), GROOT (self-supervised vision-based multitask policy), and ProAgent (collaborating agents).
