Wenzhao Lian
连文昭
Wenzhao Lian is the founder of Yuanluo Technology (源络科技), a robotics startup he launched in 2023 that targets lab-automation scenarios rather than consumer-style demos — using long-horizon, high-precision scientific experiment tasks as the training ground for embodied AI . Before returning to China, he worked on robotics R&D at Google X, served as a researcher at the Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and was technical director at Figure AI, where he led the hardware-software integration and core algorithms for dexterous robot manipulation . A 2011 undergraduate of Shanghai Jiao Tong University's electronics department, he splits his time between running Yuanluo's R&D and a professorship at SJTU's School of Artificial Intelligence, as he described in a 峰瑞资本 (FreeS Fund) conversation in September 2026 .
