Tianxing CHEN (陈天行)

🎓 Final Year Undergraduate Student @ SZU

🦾 Embodied AI Student Researcher

🧸 Co-Founder of VITA Robotics Community

Biography

Hi! I am Tianxing Chen (Chinese name: 陈天行), currently a Final year undergraduate student majoring in Computer Science at Shenzhen University and doing research at MMLab@HKU, supervised by Prof. Ping Luo. I am closely working with Yao Mu.

I have won a silver medal in the ACM-ICPC regional competition and a national runner-up in the RAICOM robotics competition. I also received CCF Elite Collegiate Award (CCF优秀大学生, top 99 nationwide) and "Excellent Star of SZU (荔园卓越之星)" which was the recipient of the highest honor for undergraduate students at Shenzhen University (rk 2/30000).

My research interests mainly focus on Embodied AI, especially on Robotic Foundation Model, Manipulation Policy (VLA, Diffusion Policy) and Robot Data Synthesizer.

Feel free to contact me by email if you are interested in discussing or collaborating with me.
