I am currently a third-year Ph.D. student at the Institute of Artificial Intelligence at Peking University, where I'm part of both the CoRe Lab and the General Vision Lab, under the guidance of Tengyu Liu, Siyuan Huang, and Yixin Zhu. Additionally, I'm undertaking an internship at NVIDIA.

My research focuses on human motion generation, robotics, scene understanding, and leveraging AI for scientific discovery, particularly in the field of biology. Moving forward, my research will focus on how embodied agents can execute actions based on open-vocabulary instructions within real-world environments. I graduated from Beihang University, advised by Guizhen Yu and Yunpeng Wang.

OmniClone: Engineering a Robust, All-RounderWhole-Body Humanoid Teleoperation System
Yixuan Li*, Le Ma*, Yutang Lin*, Yushi Du, Mengya Liu, Kaizhe Hu, Jieming Cui, Yixin Zhu, Wei Liang, Baoxiong Jia, Siyuan Huang

Project / Code / Paper

We introduce OmniClone, a whole-body humanoid teleoperation system that achieves high-fidelity, multi-skill control spanning dexterous manipulation and coordinated locomotion. The full pipeline runs on a single consumer GPU and is trained with modest demonstration data, making responsive whole-body teleoperation practical without prohibitive compute or collection cost.

Multi-Level Narrative Evaluation Outperforms Lexical Features for Mental Health
Yuxi Ma*, Jieming Cui*, Muyang Li, Ye Zhao, Chi Zhang, Yinyin Zang, Yixin Zhu

Project

We introduce a three-level framework—micro-level lexical features, meso-level semantic embeddings, and macro-level LLM narrative evaluation—and show, across 830 Chinese therapeutic texts spanning depression, anxiety, and trauma, that macro-level evaluation substantially outperforms lexical and embedding features for mental health prediction.

CLONE: Closed-Loop Whole-Body Humanoid Teleoperation for Long-Horizon Tasks
Yixuan Li*, Yutang Lin*, Jieming Cui, Tengyu Liu, Wei Liang, Yixin Zhu, Siyuan Huang

Project / Code / Video / Paper

We introduce CLONE, an MoE-based policy with closed-loop error correction for holistic humanoid teleoperation. It enables capabilities previously unattainable with existing systems—such as whole-body coordination and long-horizon task execution, with minimal input from a commercial MR headset.

AnySkill: Learning Open-Vocabulary Physical Skill for Interactive Agents
Jieming Cui*, Tengyu Liu*, Nian Liu*, Yaodong Yang, Yixin Zhu, Siyuan Huang

Project / Code / Video / Paper

We propose AnySkill, a novel hierarchical method that learns physically plausible interactions following open-vocabulary instructions. An important feature of our method is the use of image-based rewards for the high-level policy, which allows the agent to learn interactions with objects without manual reward engineering.

Full-Body Articulated Human-Object Interaction
Nan Jiang*, Tengyu Liu*, Zhexuan Cao, Jieming Cui, He Wang, Yixin Zhu, Siyuan Huang

Project / Code / Paper

We present CHAIRS, a large-scale motion-captured f-AHOI dataset, consisting of 16.2 hours of versatile interactions between 46 participants and 74 articulated and rigid sittable objects. CHAIRS provides 3D meshes of both humans and articulated objects during the entire interactive process, as well as realistic and physically plausible full-body interactions.
