Xinyuan Zhang
I am a final-year undergraduate in Artificial Intelligence at the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences. I was a visiting student in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Oxford.
During my time at Oxford, I worked as a research assistant with the Dynamic Robot Systems Group (DRS) at the Oxford Robotics Institute (ORI), focusing on 3D building layout reconstruction from monocular image sequences, where I was fortunate to be supervised by Prof. Maurice Fallon and Prof. Yifu Tao. Previously, I worked at the Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences on vision-language navigation for autonomous delivery scenarios, where I was advised by Prof. Fei-Yue Wang and Prof. Yonglin Tian.
I am interested in 3D vision and robotic perception. My goal is to develop models and systems that truly understand the physical world and leverage them for real-world robotics.
