About Me

I am a Research Engineer in Robotics at Shanghai AI Laboratory. My research interests include reinforcement learning, embodied agents, and robotic manipulation.

I received my M.Sc. in Control Science and Engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2026, where I was advised by Prof. Jun-Guo Lu. My previous work includes humanoid imitation and bipedal locomotion.

I am looking for PhD opportunities in robotics and embodied AI. Please feel free to get in touch.

How Far Does a Frontier Agent Get as an Embodied Policy?

Yifei Yao*, Yude Zou*, Guanbo Jiao*, …, Xing Gao, Weinan Zhang, Chunhua Shen

Evaluating a frontier agent as an embodied policy through single-shot in-context learning, direct robot control, and analysis of manipulation precision, recovery, and task composition.

I also contributed to the InternW0 and InternW0-Δ technical reports.
