Research Projects

Our research primarily focuses on Multimodal Large Language Model (MLLM) and Embodied AI, with an emphasis on perception, reasoning, and decision-making in interactive environments:

Multimodal Foundation Models
Embodied Intelligence
  • Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) aim to build and train models capable of understanding, reasoning, and generating content across multiple modalities, including text, images, audio, and video. Our research in this area explores the enhancement of multitask learning capabilities, the advancement of high-resolution perception, and the design of unified architectures for multimodal understanding and generation. Please refer to our GitHub Orgnization about JiuTian MLLM ("九天"多模态大模型) for more details. [bilibili] [bilibili]

    Task instruction: Search today's weather in Shenzhen on Chrome, then write the temperature into today.md using Markor.

  • Embodied AI studies agents capable of perceiving, reasoning, and acting within physical environments. We aim to build systems based on MLLMs that integrate multimodal perception, instruction comprehension, and continuous action planning to perform complex 3D tasks such as manipulation, and interactive behaviors.
  • Task instruction: Open the drawer, put the toy inside, and then close it. [bilibili]

    Task instruction: Fold the T-shirt carefully and finish with precise placement. [bilibili]

    Task instruction: Put the bread into a bowl and heat it in the microwave. [bilibili]

    Task instruction: Place both the lemon from the bowl and the apple on the table onto the plate, then put the lid on the bowl. [bilibili]

    Task instruction: Grasp a plate and place it on the tablecloth. Both the plates and the tablecloths come in multiple styles. [bilibili]

    Task instruction: Grasp three different fruits and place them onto the plate. For each rollout, a different combination of fruits is randomly sampled. [bilibili]

    To further enhance our embodied AI research, our lab has recently acquired the R1 Lite robot from GaLaXea AI.
