Embodied AI Research Scientist · Horizon Robotics

Tianwei Lin

I work at Horizon Robotics as a Embodied AI Research Scientist, leading research on robotic manipulation. I received my master degree from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2019, advised by Prof. Xu Zhao, and my B.Eng. from the School of Mechanical Engineering at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2016.

My recent work focuses on embodied manipulation, world model, autonomous driving, and cross-modal understanding and generation, with an emphasis on building practical systems that connect perception, reasoning, and action.
