🚀 Research Interests

  • Mobile Manipulation
  • Vision and Language Navigation
  • Computer Vision

My research interests lie in ​Vision-and-Language Navigation (VLN)​ and Computer Vision, with a focus on ​embodied AI for service robotics. ​Currently, I work on bridging advanced machine learning techniques with real-world applications, particularly in developing ​adaptive navigation systems​ that interpret natural language instructions and dynamic environments.

If you are interested in any aspect of me, I am always open to discussions and collaborations. Feel free to reach out to me at - hxu095 [at] connect.hkust-gz.edu.cn
