Xingyu Chen

Currently, I am a Robotics Character Animation Engineer in Xiaomi. Meanwhile, I am also an individual researcher and developer focus on physical intelligence via spatial computing.

Previously, I obtained M.Sc degree from University College London in 2024. Prior to that, I received B.Sc degree from University of Cincinnati in 2023, and B.Eng degree from Chongqing University in 2022.
