Li et al.

Lin Li is a researcher at Robbyant, Ant Group's embodied artificial intelligence subsidiary, where they focus on foundation models for robot learning and control. Li is the lead author of LingBot-VA, formally titled "Causal World Modeling for Robot Control" and accepted at Robotics: Science and Systems (RSS) 2026, which introduces a causal video-action world model that jointly learns frame prediction and action execution via an autoregressive diffusion framework. The work is best known for demonstrating strong bimanual manipulation capabilities through large-scale cross-embodiment data pre-training and an asynchronous inference pipeline that decouples action prediction from motor execution.
