🤖 About Me

• I’m an Associate Professor at NUDT in China, and currently visiting CUHK in Hong Kong.

• I also serve as an Associate Editor for IEEE T-RO, RA-L, ICRA, and IROS.

• My research focuses on embodied intelligence for autonomous robots to improve perception, reasoning, navigation, and manipulation skills for real-world robotic systems. Building on my work in spatial perception, localization, and long-term autonomy, I investigate how foundation models, such as VLMs, VFMs, VLAs, BFMs, etc., can support generalizable robot learning, multimodal embodied perception, and long-horizon mobile manipulation in complex and dynamic environments. I have authored over 100 peer-reviewed papers in leading robotics venues, including IJRR, TRO, TPAMI, RAL, RSS, ICRA, IROS, and CVPR.

• I’m recruiting Ph.D. and master’s students interested in embodied intelligence, robot learning, perception, navigation, and manipulation. If you are interested in joining my team, please email me your CV and a brief statement of your research interests at chenxieyuanli(at)hotmail.com.
