Kailin Li | 李恺林

I am currently a researcher at the Embodied AI Center, Shanghai AI Laboratory. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science and Technology from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, where I worked in the MVIG Lab under the supervision of Prof. Cewu Lu.

I now collaborate closely with Lixin Yang, Jingbo Wang, and Weinan Zhang, and previously gained valuable experience at the General Vision Lab, BIGAI. My research aims to build robot intelligence that can understand, learn, and act through physical interaction. I develop data-driven methods for dexterous manipulation and humanoid loco-manipulation, with a focus on contact-rich skills, whole-body coordination, tool use, sim-to-real transfer, and cross-embodiment generalization.

I am seeking highly motivated interns to join our team at Shanghai AI Lab—interested candidates are warmly encouraged to reach out via email.
