Ding Yi

I'm Ding Yi (Dīng Yī). You can call me Done — D-one, Done. I'm a Ph.D. student in computer science at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

My research focuses on robotics and embodied intelligence, with recent work on vision-language-action models with on-the-fly tool use, robotic reasoning for action generation, and always-on robots in concurrent embodied streams.
