About
Haozhuo Zheng is a rising star in robotics and embodied AI, whose work centers on building general-purpose robotic manipulation systems. His most impactful contribution is the development of the ManiFoundation Model, a groundbreaking framework that enables robots to perform complex contact synthesis tasks with arbitrary objects and robots, moving beyond the narrow, task-specific models that have long constrained the field. This work, published in 2024 and already garnering 6 citations, represents a significant step toward creating a "large model" for robot manipulation, analogous to the versatile planning abilities of large language models. By tackling the vast diversity in objects and robotic platforms, Zheng is helping to lay the foundation for truly intelligent, adaptable robots capable of operating in unstructured real-world environments. His research sits at the critical intersection of contact-rich manipulation, foundation models, and generalizable robotics, promising to unlock a new era where robots can learn and perform a wide spectrum of tasks with the same fluidity and understanding as humans.
