浙江大学 REAL Lab,致力于打造能在真实世界中思考、行动并持续成长的人工智能系统

REAL Lab at Zhejiang University builds AI systems that reason reliably, explore the physical world, act autonomously as agents, and learn continuously throughout their lifetime, bridging the gap between virtual intelligence and physical intelligence.

Open-source systems

HuggingGPT HuggingGPT   stars
An LLM as controller and the Hugging Face hub as executors: plan, pick expert models, run them, and compose the answer.
HugAgentOS HugAgentOS   stars
A self-evolving AgentOS. Memory, skills, and orchestration improve with every task, and each evolution step is attributable, replayable, and reversible.
Easel Easel   stars
An open-source social-media agent: discover trends, create posts, audio, and video, publish across platforms, and learn what actually works.
ClawGUI ClawGUI   stars
Train, evaluate, and deploy GUI agents in one framework: online RL across parallel emulators and real Android, HarmonyOS, and iOS devices.

Research map

R · Reasoning: reason reliably

Models that can reason for as long as a problem requires, spend only the thinking it needs, and know when an answer is right.

Direction Focus Representative work
Long-horizon reasoning Break the context-length ceiling so reasoning can continue as long as the problem demands. InftyThink · InftyThink+
Efficient reasoning Fit the amount of thinking to the difficulty of the problem and stop overthinking. Self-Braking Tuning · LAPO · Mind the Gap
Verifiable reasoning Verifiers and rewards that can be trusted, and models that pause instead of fabricate. VerifyBench · CoVerRL · Pause or Fabricate?

E · Embodied: explore the physical world

Taking intelligence off the screen: understanding 3D space, anticipating how the world changes, and acting through a body.

Direction Focus Representative work
Spatial perception Measure and teach the 3D understanding that 2D pretraining lacks, including viewpoints other than the camera's. ViewSpatial-Bench · SpatialLadder · GPD
Self-evolving spatial intelligence Let geometry and physical interaction supply their own supervision, without human labels. SpatialEvo · Spatial-Interactor
Prediction and world models Reason about what happens next and keep a memory of the world over time. SpaceCast-Bench · WorldMemBench
Embodied action Turn perception into reliable physical action and coordinated embodied behavior. VLA-Corrector · OmniEmbodied

A · Agentic: act autonomously as agents

Agents that plan, use tools, and carry long-horizon tasks through to completion across screens, software, and the open web.

Direction Focus Representative work
GUI grounding Locate exactly where to act on a screen, with dense rewards, test-time learning, and adaptive zoom. GUI-G² · GUI-RCPO · Reliable Negatives · UI-Zoomer
Computer-use agents Long-horizon control of real devices through multi-turn RL, GUI plus command line, and online self-improvement. UI-S1 · EMPO · UI-Copilot · HybridCUA · ComputerSD · Reflect, Revise, Reuse · ClawGUI
Deep research agents Search the open web, synthesize evidence, and carry a project from literature to a reviewed paper. IterSynth · BrowserForge · EviNote-RAG · PaperGym · Polaris
Code agents Code and tests that co-evolve adversarially through reinforcement learning. Code-A1
Creation agents Agents that discover, create, publish across platforms, and learn what actually works. Easel
Tool orchestration LLMs as controllers that plan, call expert models and tools, and compose the result. HuggingGPT · TaskBench
Agent evaluation Interactive, personalized benchmarks and a plug-in harness that evaluates any agent in any environment. KnowU-Bench · ageval

L · Lifelong: learn continuously throughout their lifetime

Deployment is where learning continues: agents turn their own experience into guidance, skills, and better weights.

Direction Focus Representative work
Guided exploration Densify the sparse rewards of long-horizon agentic RL with adaptive hints and milestones. Agent-G² · BEACON
Skill internalization Discover skills in context, then internalize them into the policy across tasks and modalities. SKILL0 · ViSkill · SkillRise
Self-distillation Agentic RL with on-policy self-distillation, and the family of methods built on it. SDAR · AgentOPSD · Pass the Baton · RetireOPD
Post-deployment steering Adjust a deployed model's behavior at inference time without retraining. EasySteer
Self-evolving systems Memory, skills, and orchestration that evolve with use, with every step attributable and reversible. HugAgentOS
