Helin Xu | 徐赫临

I am a graduate student at UC San Diego and a research engineer at Hillbot Inc., working with Prof. Hao Su. I obtained my B.Eng. degree from Tsinghua University in 2023. During these years, I have been very fortunate to be advised by Prof. Hao Su, Prof. Xiaolong Wang, Prof. He Wang, Prof. Li Yi, and Prof. Yebin Liu.

My primary interests lie in embodied AI (robotics and 3D vision). I am a lifelong learner and I aim to build things that work in the real world. I am always open to conversations. If you share similar interests or simply want to chat, feel free to reach out!

    DexArt: Benchmarking Generalizable Dexterous Manipulation with Articulated Objects

    Chen Bao*, Helin Xu*, Yuzhe Qin, Xiaolong Wang
    CVPR 2023
    ArXiv / Project Page / Code

    We propose DexArt, a task suite of Dexterous manipulation with Articulated object using point cloud observation. We experiment with extensive benchmark methods that learn category-level manipulation policy on seen objects. We evaluate the policies’ generalizability on a collection of unseen objects, as well as their robustness to camera viewpoint change.




    GAPartNet: Cross-Category Domain-Generalizable Object Perception and Manipulation via Generalizable and Actionable Parts

    Haoran Geng*, Helin Xu*, Chengyang Zhao*, Chao Xu, Li Yi, Siyuan Huang, He Wang
    CVPR 2023, Highlight (top 2.5% of all submissions)
    ArXiv / Project Page / Code / Dataset

    We propose to learn generalizable object perception and manipulation skills via Generalizable and Actionable Parts, and present GAPartNet, a large-scale interactive dataset with rich part annotations.

    Dora AI: Generating powerful websites, one prompt at a time

    Project done when I was a research engineer at Dora.run Ltd (startup).
    Project Page / Product Hunt / Awards / Twitter

    We launched Dora AI, the first end-to-end AI website builder on the market. It has become a successful AI product, winning the Best AI Products of the Year by Product Hunt, ranking ahead of Google Bard, Piki, etc. Dora AI can generate powerful websites from a simple prompt. It is designed to help users create websites quickly and easily, without any coding or design skills.
