About

Yulin Xu is a robotics researcher whose work centers on robotic grasping, manipulation, and human-robot interaction, with a particular focus on integrating computer vision and bionic design. Xu’s most impactful contribution is the development of GraspCNN (2019, 32 citations), a novel approach that simplifies robotic grasp detection by representing feasible grasps as oriented diameter circles in RGB images, enabling real-time performance with a single convolutional neural network. This work addresses a fundamental challenge in robotics: enabling robots to quickly and accurately identify how to pick up objects. Xu has also made significant strides in bionic hand design, including the SHU-hand II humanoid robotic hand (2018) and compliance control methods for grasping with under-actuated fingers (2016, 7 citations), which analyze how spring stiffness and object properties affect dynamic response. Further contributions include collaborative robot systems using gaze interaction (2021), Kinect-based human body tracking for medical service robots (2018), and multi-object dynamic grasping using convolutional neural networks (2020). With a total of over 60 citations across these works, Xu’s research bridges perception, control, and mechanical design, advancing the practical deployment of robots in healthcare, manufacturing, and service environments.
