Dicong Qiu is a robotics and embodied AI founder and PhD candidate with a decade of hands-on experience building autonomy, perception, and learning systems across startups and research labs. He founded Jacobi.ai after leading autonomous driving and robotics R&D at PIX Moving and directing a 30-person big data and intelligent algorithm center at Ruqi Mobility. His background spans high-impact internships and research at NASA JPL and Carnegie Mellon, plus product engineering at DJI and Intel, blending field robotics, reinforcement learning, and production-grade software. Known for translating biological inspiration into robot capabilities, he studies how simple organisms evolved sensing, reasoning, and actuation to inform novel architectures for embodied agents. Based in Guangzhou, he combines entrepreneurial drive with deep academic rigor—pursuing a PhD in Embodied AI/AGI at HKUST while commercializing autonomous systems.
