I’m Chendong Xin, an undergraduate researcher passionate about advancing robotics and AI technologies. Currently pursuing my studies while conducting research in robotic manipulation and human-robot interaction. My interest in robotics starts when I participate the FIRST Robotics Competition in my high school. (Our team number is 6907!)
Background
I am particularly interested in robotic manipulation and the real-world deployment of robot learning methods. My research focuses on enabling robots to achieve human-level accuracy and robustness in manipulation tasks. In the long term, I aim to advance the capabilities of dexterous manipulation for complex tasks through learning-based approaches, and to bridge the gap between simulation and real-world performance.
Research Interests
My work focuses on bridging the gap between human dexterity and robotic capabilities:
🧠 Learning from Demonstration - Imitation learning to learn from human experts
🤖 Human-to-Robot Teleoperation - Teleoperation algorithms and systems for data collection
🖐️ Dexterous Manipulation - Developing methods for complex robotic hand control
🧩 Vision-Language-Action (VLA) Models — Foundation models for generalizable robotic manipulation
