Hello there! I am a visiting scholar at Hybrid Robotics, UC Berkeley advised by Prof. Koushil Sreenath.
Previously, I worked on Legged Robot Locomotion with Dr. Jiangmiao Pang and Distributed Systems with Prof. Youlong Wu.
I received my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from ShanghaiTech University.
I am interested in enabling robotic systems to achieve functionality and safety. Toward this goal, I focus on:
(a) bridging control and machine learning to develop methods possessing their advantages;
(b) training and application of dynamics models (world models);
(c) developing robot foundation model for general purpose robots.
I am actively applying for Ph.D. position starting from Fall 2025. If you are interested in my research or want to chat, please drop me an email.

[Paper]
[Code]
[BibTeX]
We proposed GRUtopia, the first simulated interactive 3D society designed for various robots. It features (a)GRScenes,
a dataset with 100k interactive and finely annotated scenes. (b) GRResidents, a LLM driven NPC system. (c) GRBench, a
benchmark posing moderately challenging tasks.

Parallelizing Model-based Reinforcement Learning Over the Sequence Length
Zirui Wang, Yue Deng, Junfeng Long, Yin Zhang†
Annual Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS), 2024
[Paper]
[Code]
[BibTeX]
We propose the Parallelized Model-based Reinforcement Learning (PaMoRL) framework. PaMoRL introduces two
novel techniques: the Parallel World Model (PWM) and the Parallelized Eligibility Trace Estimation (PETE)
to parallelize both model and policy learning stages of current MBRL methods over the sequence length.

Hybrid Internal Model: Learning Agile Legged Locomotion with Simulated Robot Response
Junfeng Long*, Zirui Wang*, Quanyi Li, Jiawei Gao, Liu Cao, Jiangmiao Pang†
International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR), 2024
[Project Page]
[Paper]
[Code]
[BibTeX]
We present the Hybrid Internal Model,
a method enabling the control policy to estimate environmental disturbances
by only explicitly estimating velocity and implicitly simulating the system's response.

On the Optimality of Data Exchange for Master-Aided Edge Computing Systems
Haoning Chen, Junfeng Long, Shuai Ma, Mingjian Tang, Youlong Wu
IEEE Transactions on Communications (TCOM), 2023
[Paper]
[BibTeX]
We propose a coded scheme to reduce the communication latency by exploiting computation and communication
capabilities of all nodes and creating coded multicast opportunities.More importantly, we prove that the
proposed scheme is always optimal, i.e., achieving the minimum communication latency, for arbitrary computing
and storage abilities at the master.
