Allan Wang (王昊) is the co-founder and CTO of Independent Variable Robotics (自变量机器人), the embodied-AI startup founded and led by CEO Qian Wang — whom Wang was reportedly the first person Qian Wang approached when assembling the team . He holds a PhD in computational physics from Peking University and previously led the large-model algorithm team at the IDEA Research Institute, where he oversaw the release of several open-source LLMs . At the company he has been a public face of its technical work: he co-presented the WALL-B unified world model — pitched as a world-first, with robots carrying it slated to enter real homes — alongside the CEO in April 2026 , and spoke on embodied world models at the WAIC "Six Little Dragons" world-model forum in July 2026 . The company around him has been on a fast raise: four rounds in two months and a valuation topping 20 billion yuan, per a 九合创投 report from June 2026 .
