Detailed Profile (详细个人介绍)

Hi! I am Tianxing Chen (Chinese name: 陈天行), Co-Founder and CTO of Xspark AI, Lead of SparkLab, founder of Lumina Embodied AI Community, and a Ph.D. student at MMLab@HKU, The University of Hong Kong (since Oct. 2025), supervised by Prof. Ping Luo. My research focuses on Embodied AI Infra, including Robotic Foundation Model, Data Generator and Evaluation. I was selected as an AI25 honoree (Under 25 AI Innovation Pioneer) by HongShan China and MIT Technology Review China.

I have published multiple papers at top venues such as CVPR, RSS, ICLR, ICRA and ACL. My works received Best Paper Award at the ICRA 2026 ViTac Workshop and ECCV 2024 MAAS Workshop, Champion at NeurIPS 2025 MARS Challenge (Control Track), third-runnerup at IROS 2025 AgiBot World Challenge (Manipulation Track), Best Poster Award at IROS 2025 RoMaDo, RoDGE, AIR4S Workshop and ChinaSI 2025, and a CVPR Highlight recognition. I organized Embodied-AI-Guide project, and received over 10k Github stars, which is the most popular EAI tutorial. Beyond research, I have been honored with the CCF Elite Collegiate Award (99 nationwide) and the "Excellent Star of SZU", the highest undergraduate honor at Shenzhen University (ranked 2/30,000). I also won a silver medal in the ACM-ICPC regional competition and was national runner-up in the RAICOM robotics developer competition.

I have served as an organizer of the ECCV 2026 Safe World Model Workshop,SIGGRAPH ASIA 2025 TriFusion Workshop, CVPR 2025 MEIS Workshop, the CVPR 2025 RoboTwin Dual-Arm Collaboration Challenge, and the Greater Bay Area Embodied AI Workshop. I am also a student committee member of the Autonomous Robotic Technology Seminar (ARTS). In addition, I share my thoughts on research and technology as a blogger and vlogger, with over 20k followers on Rednote @TianxingChen (陈天行).

Hi！我是陈天行 (English name: Tianxing Chen)，Xspark AI 联合创始人兼CTO，SparkLab负责人，Lumina具身智能社区的创始人， 同时也是香港大学MMLab@HKU的博士生（始于2025年10月）， 师从罗平教授。 我的研究方向是具身智能基础架构，包括机器人通用基础模型、数据合成器与评测。近期，我由红杉中国与《麻省理工科技评论》中国联合评选为 AI25（25岁以下AI创新青年先锋）。

我在CVPR、RSS、ICLR、ICRA、ACL等学术顶会发表多篇论文。在ICRA 2026 ViTac Workshop和ECCV 2024 MAAS Workshop上获得最佳论文奖， 获得NeurIPS 2025 MARS操作赛冠军，IROS 2025 AgiBot World操作赛季军，在IROS 2025 RoMaDo、RoDGE、AIR4S Workshop 与ChinaSI 2025上获得最佳海报奖，获得CVPR Highlight等。我组织了Embodied-AI-Guide项目，获得了超过一万Github Stars， 是最流行的具身智能教程。我曾经获得CCF优秀大学生（全国年度99人）、荔园卓越之星（深圳大学本科生最高荣誉）等荣誉。 竞赛上获得ACM-ICPC国际大学生程序设计竞赛银牌，在RAICOM机器人开发者大赛中获得赛道全国亚军等。

我也曾作为组织者举办ECCV 2026 Safe World Model Workshop、SIGGRAPH ASIA 2025 TriFusion Workshop、CVPR 2025 MEIS Workshop、 CVPR 2025 RoboTwin双臂协作竞赛、大湾区具身智能研讨会等。担任ARTS自主机器人技术研讨会的学生委员会成员。 同时，我还在小红书拥有超20k粉丝 @TianxingChen (陈天行)。
