FUDAN UNIVERSITY · EMBODIED AI
Shengqi Xu 许晟旗
I am a second-year Ph.D. student at the Fudan Vision and Learning Laboratory, Fudan University, advised by Prof. Zuxuan Wu. My research focuses on embodied AI and tactile-driven manipulation.
Previously, I received my master’s degree from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, supervised by Prof. Luxin Yan. I was also fortunate to be mentored by Prof. Wangmeng Zuo. My earlier research focused on imaging through atmospheric turbulence.
