Senior🎓
Top SchoolHaochih L is a robotics and AI entrepreneur with 11 years of experience building foundation models and physical intelligence systems across consumer devices, autonomous vehicles, and humanoid robots. As Co-Founder of a stealth startup in Mountain View, he is applying geometric intelligence to high-margin assembly lines after leading teams at XPENG to deliver in-house 1.5B LLMs, hardware-co-designed models, and the first whole-body locomotion RL policy for their humanoid robot. His prior work includes GenAI and intelligent character systems for Apple Vision Pro and RL-driven gaming AI at SonyAI with a Nature-cover publication, reflecting a rare blend of academic rigor and product-grade engineering. Comfortable shipping research into production, he has experience in VLA pretraining, RL fine-tuning, and model-hardware co-design across large-scale projects. Trained in mechatronics and robotics at ETH Zürich, he brings cross-disciplinary fluency that bridges control, learning, and systems engineering. An understated strength is his ability to scale small research teams into delivery engines that produce competitive, from-scratch large models and real-world robotic behaviors.
