Hanming Ye is Co-Founder of Waddle Labs, a Y Combinator-backed startup building AI agents for robotics control, allowing anyone to connect an API to a robot and deploy tasks via natural language prompts.

Hanming is a Mathematics student at Harvard University (Class of 2028) who conducted topology research at MIT's math department, where he won a top-five paper prize.

Hanming met his co-founder Yiding Song at MIT's Research Science Institute, and the two became roommates at Harvard, where they combined ML research with hands-on robotics experimentation.

Waddle Labs is backed by Y Combinator and has built a scalable agent architecture where a master agent spawns subagents to coordinate multiple robots concurrently, with performance improving as foundation models scale.

Waddle's agents accumulate a growing library of parametrized skills across tasks, and the system has been validated across manipulation benchmarks using leading frontier models, positioning it as a foundational platform for the coming wave of billions of robots.
