Xiaoxiong Zhang
I am an M.S. student in Robotics at the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech), advised by Prof. Wei Zhang in the CLEAR Lab. Earlier, I earned my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Wuhan University of Technology (WHUT) in 2024.
My research sits at the intersection of machine learning and robotics, where I develop generalist manipulation policies that learn from in-the-wild human videos.
