About Me

Yidi Li is currently an Associate Professor in the College of Computer Science and Technology at Taiyuan University of Technology (太原理工大学, 计算机科学与技术学院), and the director of the Multimodal Intelligent Human-Robot Interaction Laboratory (多模态智能人机交互实验室, MIHRI Lab). Since October 2025, she has been a CSC-funded Visiting Scholar at the Robotic Manipulation Lab. / Harada Lab., the University of Osaka, Japan. She received her Ph.D. degree in Computer Science and Technology from Peking University under the supervision of Prof. Hong Liu in 2023.

Her research focuses on multimodal embodied intelligence, audio-visual perception, and human-robot interaction. Her work aims to enable robots and intelligent agents to perceive, understand, and interact with complex real-world environments by integrating complementary sensory modalities such as vision and audition.

Her recent research covers audio-visual speaker tracking, multimodal robust representation learning, incomplete-modality perception, event-RGB fusion, and embodied perception. She has published more than 40 papers in international conferences and SCI journals in artificial intelligence, computer vision, and multimodal learning.
