Haozhe Jia 贾浩哲

Undergraduate Researcher in Embodied AI · Shandong University · Qingdao, China

I am an undergraduate researcher at Shandong University working on embodied AI, generative motion models, and robot control. I am interested in a simple but stubborn question: how can we make AI-generated motion not only look good on a screen, but also stand up, stay balanced, and actually move a robot? My work explores diffusion models, flow matching, and dynamics-aligned representations for humanoid motion generation, whole-body control, and cross-modal understanding, aiming to bridge language, motion, and physical execution in the real world.
