Building robots that can truly interact with the physical world.

Researcher at BAAI working on embodied intelligence. Our long-term vision is to build robots that can truly interact with the physical world — a vision we refer to as AETHER: Agile Embodied inTelligence for Humanoid-Environment InteRaction.

We are hiring both on-site and remote research interns, as well as full-time researchers and engineers, across embodied AI topics ranging from WBC to VLA. If you are highly self-motivated and deeply passionate about robotics, please feel free to contact me.
