Rui Shao
Rui Shao is a professor at the School of Computer Science and Technology at the Harbin Institute of Technology (Shenzhen), where he leads the Orion Lab. His research focuses on multimodal large language models and embodied AI, with recent work on vision-language-action models for robotic manipulation including SemanticVLA, CogVLA, and a survey of VLA-based approaches. He previously served as a postdoctoral research fellow at Nanyang Technological University and received his PhD from Hong Kong Baptist University in 2021.
“Instead of predying what the future looks like, ΔVLA predicts how the world changes — and that shift in framing delivers state-of-the-art manipulation performance at 3x faster training speed than comparable approaches.”
