Xiaomin was born in Wenzhou, China. Xiaomin’s robotics journey truly set out when he was an undergrad, worked with Dr. Temesguen Messay at Motoman Robotics Lab.

After that, Xiaomin went to University of Maryland- College Park and had a delighted Master life with his advisor Prof. Gilmer Blankenship.

Recently, Xiaomin becomes a Ph.D. candidate, working with Prof. Yiannis Aloimonos and Dr. Cornelia Fermüller in the Perception & Robotics Group, at the University of Maryland, College Park.

Research Interest:

Xiaomin is interested in Cognitive Robotics – robotics, computer vision, and general Artificial Intelligence. He is currently working on developing novel algorithms for underwater unmanned systems perception.
