I have published multiple papers at top venues such as CVPR, RSS, ICLR, ICRA and ACL. My works received Best Paper Award at the ECCV 2024 MAAS Workshop, Champion at NeurIPS 2025 MARS Challenge (Control Track), ModelScope EAI-100 Top-10 Open-Source Projects of 2025, 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 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).
