About Me

My name is Xinyuan Luo. I am a first-year PhD student in Robotics at Duke University, co-advised by Prof. Xianyi Cheng at the Robot Dexterity Lab and Prof. Boyuan Chen at the General Robotics Lab.

Before starting my PhD, I worked as a Robot Learning Engineer at Kepler Robotics, focusing on dual-arm manipulation for humanoid robots in industrial applications.

I earned my Master’s degree in Autonomy and Robotics from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, advised by Prof. Wenzhen Yuan.

I received my Bachelor of Engineering from the School of Sensing Science and Technology at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, advised by Prof. Hongbing Li, mentored by Prof. Zhenyu Huang.

I am a passionate roboticist dedicated to the realization of general humanoid robots, aiming to contribute significantly to this field. My dream is to start my own company in robotics and help humanity achieve this technological milestone.

I enjoy making friends with people from diverse backgrounds. Feel free to contact me via Email or WeChat: lxynzmzmc.
