Paul Xu
I am a robotics engineer and researcher, currently pursuing my PhD at the Technische Universität Berlin, supervised by Prof. Oliver Brock. I am also affiliated with Robotics and Biology (RBO) Laboratory and Science of Intelligence.
Previously, I conducted research in Prof. Jungwon Seo’s group at HKUST Robotics Institute, as a research assistant (2021-2022) and MPhil student (2019-2021). The projects involve aerial manipulation and gripper design.
Prior to that, I also worked on consumer drones and gimbals at DJI (2015-2018).
