Weize Li
I'm
a Research Engineer at TARS Robotics, advised by Prof. Wenchao
Ding and Prof.
Yilun Chen.
I work on full stack robot learning (manipulation), touching whole circle of the data collection,
simulation, model/policy training, and inference deployment.
Previously, I spent several gap years as an Research Assistant/Intern at AIR, Tsinghua University and HKUST, working with exceptional mentors to
dive into 3D vision and graphics.
I was a visiting student at the Institute of
Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences in my senior year.
I will join the ECE Dept. of Clemson University as a PhD student in Spring 2026, working with Prof. Luyang Zhao.

Research
I am broadly interested in the intersection of robotics, 3D vision and multimodal learning, with
the long-term goal of building embodied intelligent systems capable of human-level manipulation.
Currently, I am focusing on foundation model for robotics, bimanual manipulation and human-centric
cross-embodiment transfer.
