Tao Pu (蒲韬)
I am currently an R&D Director at X-Era Lab, leading foundational research on embodied AI. I received my Ph.D. degree from Sun Yat-sen University in 2025 under the supervision of Prof. Liang Lin, with joint doctoral training at Peking University. Prior to that, I received my Bachelor’s degree from Sun Yat-sen University in 2020.
