Flood Sung is a robotics and AI founder building a general humanoid foundation model at XVI Robotics, leveraging a decade of applied research across deep reinforcement learning, meta-learning, and physics-based character animation. Previously RL lead at Moonshot AI and research roles at inspir.ai and ByteDance, he has driven ASI-focused RL systems, virtual AI creatures, and large-scale game AI. Trained with a master's in computer science from 国防科技大学, he blends academic rigor with startup execution to take research prototypes into production-grade robotics. Known for focusing on robot learning and few-shot/meta learning, he often crosses boundaries between simulation-based physics animation and real-world control. An interesting through-line: he has alternated between independent research and industry roles, suggesting a penchant for both deep solo exploration and team-driven productization.
