Haoyang (Harry) Li

Hi!👋 I am Harry Li, a roboticist & researcher at UC San Diego advised by Prof. Hao Su. Previously, I helped build embodied AI foundations as an early member at Hillbot. During my undergraduate studies, I also co-founded a student healthcare robotics startup.

My research focuses on building interactive world models and multimodal agents that learn from physical interaction. I'm interested in scaling physically-grounded data to develop agents that deeply understand how the physical world works, and can meaningfully act in it, working alongside humans. I value 0-to-1 building, hands-on engineering, and community impact alongside rigorous research.

Research Interests:

• Interactive World Model: Modeling the big world to catalyze the emergence of intelligence and facilitate the continuous evolution of autonomous agents.
• Multimodal Agent: Developing foundation models that unify perception, reasoning, and action to create embodied agents that are reliable, generalizable, and useful in real-world settings.
• Robotics Infra: Architecting robust infrastructure that empowers robots to autonomously learn, adapt, and operate in the complex physical world.
