About Me

👋 Welcome to my personal homepage! I am Zijian Zhang, currently an incoming Master's student in Computer Application Technology at the School of Artificial Intelligence, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences. Prior to this, I received my Bachelor's degree in Robotics Engineering from University of Science and Technology Beijing.

🔬 My research interests primarily focus on Robot Learning, World Models, Vision-Language-Action Models, and 3D Perception. I am interested in enabling robots to build compact geometric and semantic representations of the physical world, predict short-horizon dynamics, and perform robust closed-loop manipulation.

🤖 I have worked on 3D Gaussian world models for robotic manipulation, world-action model enhancement, HD map auto-labeling, active LiDAR perception, BEVFusion deployment, and ROBOCON robot control systems. Feel free to contact me!
