I am Yihang Liu, a research intern at a robotics startup, where I work on world models and action models. I received my M.S.E. in Robotics from the University of Pennsylvania in 2026 and my B.A. in Mathematics and Computer Science from New York University in 2024, graduating with honors. My research focuses on embodied perception and reasoning. I have also worked on 3D vision, generative models, and broader topics in robotics and AI.

At Penn, I worked with Prof. Jiayuan Mao, Prof. Kostas Daniilidis, and Prof. Zhi Huang. Previously, I was a research intern with the YUAN Group at Peking University and worked with Prof. Gizem Kayar-Ceylan at NYU.
