I am a CS PhD student at Cornell University. I worked on Open-World Object Goal Navigation across embodiments and environments at the NUS Adacomp.

Previously, I worked with Prof David Hsu at NUS. I also collaborated with Prof Jean Oh as a Robotics Institute Summer Scholar at Carnegie Mellon University and with Prof Junhua Zhao at CUHKSZ. I received my B.E. in Computer Science and Engineering from the Chinese University of Hongkong, Shenzhen (CUHKSZ) in 2022 and M.S. in Computer Science at National University of Singapore (NUS) in 2024.

Open Scene Graphs for Open World Object-Goal Navigation
Joel Loo*, Zhanxin Wu*, David Hsu
ICRA Vision-Language Models for Navigation and Manipulation workshop, 2024
Paper / Website

Our OpenSearch system is capable of searching for a specified object class, given open-set instructions, across diverse embodiments and environments. This is enabled by our Open Scene Graph, which acts as a scene memory for a fully Foundation Model-based (FM) system, that is itself purely built from FMs.

Invariance is Key to Generalization: Examining the Role of Representation in Sim-to-Real Transfer for Visual Navigation
Bo Ai, Zhanxin Wu, David Hsu
International Symposium on Experimental Robotics (ISER), 2023
To appear in Springer Proceedings in Advanced Robotics (SPAR)
Paper

This work examines, experimentally and theoretically, one representation that enables visual navigation policies solely trained in the Habitat simulator to generalize to real-world scenes, both indoor and outdoors.

Integrating Common Sense and Planning with Large Language Models for Room Tidying
Zhanxin Wu, Bo Ai, David Hsu
Robotics: Science and Systems (RSS) Learning for Task and Motion Planning Workshop, 2023
Paper / Poster

A framework that enables an agent to put misplaced objects back in place with partial map information by exploiting commonsense knowledge in large language models (LLMs).

Semantic Segmentation in Complex Scenes for Robotics Navigation
Zhanxin Wu, Xinjie Yao, Jean Oh
CMU Robotics Institute Summer Scholar’ Working Papers Journals, 2021
Paper / Video / Poster

A lightweight framework for semantic segmentation to recover information from uninformative pixels and improve 3D semantic understanding of scenes.

Deep End-to-end Super-resolution Perception Method for Load Data at Distribution Side
Guolong Liu, Junhua Zhao, Fushuan Wen, Zhanxin Wu, Yusheng Xue
Automation of Electric Power Systems, 2020
Paper

Developed a deep end-to-end super resolution perception, recovered nearly 89% of high-frequency information lost in low-frequency information for equipment load identification at 1/10th of the original data volume, communication, and storage requirements.

Project
Autonomous Driving in Duckietown
Zhanxin Wu, Henrikus Theorizchy Cleven
NUS CS5478 Intelligent Robots: Algorithms and Systems, 2023

Developed a self-driving agent in the Duckietown simulation with classical planning, computer vision, and imitation learning techniques. Placed among the top-scored project in the module.
