Biography
Hi there👋! I'm Xiao Chen, currently a third-year Ph.D. student at Multi-Media Lab (MMLab), The Chinese University of Hong Kong, under the supervision of Prof. Tianfan Xue.
I've spent wonderful time as an on-site research intern at Shanghai AI Laboratory, working closely with Dr. Jingbo Wang, Dr. Tai Wang, and Dr. Jiangmiao Pang. I received my B.Eng. Degree and Honors Degree (Chu Kochen Honors College) from Zhejiang University.
My interest lies at the intersection of Robotics and Computer Vision. My recent research focuses on two aspects:
- Active perception, reconstruction, and generation of the 3D/4D world, with an emphasis on interactive assets and physically plausible motions
- General-purpose loco-manipulation, robotic foundation models, robot learning data flywheels
