Bo Liang (梁博)

I am a fifth-year Ph.D. candidate at the School of Computer Science at Peking University, advised by Professor Chenren Xu. My research focuses on hardware-software co-design systems to enhance sensing capabilities for humans and embodied agents. My current focus is robotics foundation models, especially vision-language navigation and VLM/LLM-driven agents.

I received my B.S. degree from the School of Physics at Peking University in 2022.
