Mu Huang, 黄沐

I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Fudan University, advised by Bo Dai. I received my bachelor’s degree from the Beijing Institute of Technology. My research interests include physically grounded world models and embodied AI.

I am currently an intern in Lingbot-VA at Robbyant (2026-present), working with Lin Li and Yinghao Xu. Previously, I worked in the Embodied AI Department at Shanghai AI Laboratory (2024-2025) with Linning Xu and Jiangmiao Pang.
