Yushan Liu

I am a master’s student in the Smart Sensing and Robotics (SSR) Group at Tsinghua University, advised by Prof. Wenbo Ding and Prof. Xiao-Ping Zhang. I received my B.S. from Jilin University in 2024.

My research interests include vision-language-action (VLA) models, world action models (WAMs), embodied manipulation, end-to-end autonomous driving, and agentic multimodal large language models (MLLMs).
