About
De Xu is a prominent robotics and computer vision researcher whose work spans autonomous mobile systems, visual servoing, and intelligent robot control. With a career built on solving real-world perception and motion challenges, Xu has made foundational contributions to indoor robot navigation, sports robotics, and precision assembly automation. Among his most influential contributions is a ceiling-based visual positioning system for indoor mobile robots using monocular vision (118 citations), offering a practical and elegant solution to indoor localization. His sustained work on robotic ping-pong players — encompassing high-speed stereovision ball tracking (116 citations), spinning ball trajectory prediction using physical modeling (45 citations), and fuzzy filtering approaches (38 citations) — established him as a leading figure in dynamic sports robotics. His research extends to UAV autonomous aerial refueling through deep learning-based landmark detection (54 citations), embedded vision tracking for robotic fish (65 citations), and skill learning for precision assembly robots (49 citations). Xu's early work on arc welding robot vision control (2005, 44 citations) demonstrates a career-long commitment to industrial robotics applications. Collectively accumulating over 700 citations across his top works, De Xu's research has meaningfully advanced the integration of computer vision and robotic control across diverse and challenging environments.
