Yuan et al. (Being-0 team)

Haoqi Yuan is a researcher affiliated with Peking University and the Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence (BAAI), working in the area of embodied AI and humanoid robotics. He is the lead author of Being-0 (arXiv 2503.12533), a humanoid robotic agent framework that combines vision-language models with a hierarchical architecture comprising a high-level foundation model, a lightweight connector VLM, and a modular skill library for locomotion and dexterous manipulation. The Being-0 system, developed in collaboration with co-authors from Peking University, BAAI, and BeingBeyond, is designed to enable full-sized humanoid robots with multi-fingered hands to solve complex tasks through learned intermediate decision layers. Yuan et al. represent a leading academic-industry group advancing hierarchical agent stacks for general-purpose humanoid control.
