Summary
Zipeng Fu is a CS PhD student researcher at Stanford AI Lab with nine years of experience building general-purpose robot intelligence and sim-to-real systems, contributing to work like Mobile ALOHA, HumanPlus, and Robot Parkour that reached CoRL Best Paper Finalist status. His research spans robotics and machine learning, with internships and research stints at Google DeepMind, Carnegie Mellon, Vayu Robotics, and UCLA focused on foundation models for robotics, legged locomotion, and autonomy. He combines deep academic training (PhD at Stanford, MS at CMU, dual BS degrees from UCLA) with hands-on system-building across simulation and physical robots. Notably, his collaborations bridge top labs and advisors across the field, reflecting an emphasis on scalable, transferable robot policies and foundation-model approaches to mobility.
