Xiaolin Fang

I am a Ph.D. student at MIT CSAIL, LIS Group, working with Leslie Kaelbling and Tomás Lozano-Pérez. I interned at NVIDIA Seattle Robotics Lab led by Prof. Dieter Fox during summer 2022. Previously, I obtained my bachelor's degree from Chu Kochen Honors College, Zhejiang University, where I worked with Prof. Xiaowei Zhou.

My research interest mainly falls on robot learning and planning. My long-term goal is to build machines with the capability of understanding the visual world, reasoning about the information needed to accomplish given tasks, and planning accordingly. Recently, I am interested in learning and exploiting abstractions that are useful for long-horizon manipulation tasks, including abstractions in the visual world and robot skills.
