In the 2025 - 2026 edition of the CSRankings global computer science rankings, Peking University has claimed the top spot worldwide in the field of embodied AI. Moreover, its ranking in robotics has soared from 49th place in 2022 to an impressive 13th. This remarkable accomplishment owes a great deal to the significant contributions of Dong Hao, a young and talented tenured associate professor born in the 1990s, along with his dedicated team.

Between 2022 and 2026, Dong Hao has made a substantial impact in the academic world by publishing 22 papers at leading robotics conferences. In total, he has amassed over 90 papers in top - tier journals and conferences within the field of embodied AI. These publications have garnered more than 10,000 citations, which is a testament to the high quality and influence of his work. As a result, he has rightfully earned his place among the world's Top 2% of scientists.

The innovations developed by his team are truly groundbreaking. For instance, their end - to - end embodied AI large model, specifically designed for clothing management in home scenarios, is playing a pivotal role in bridging the gap between laboratory technologies and real - world, everyday products. This model has the potential to revolutionize how we manage our clothing at home, making the process more efficient and intelligent.
