Hello! I’m Xintong

I build robot policies that follow fine-grained instructions.

I am a first-year PhD student at XLANG Lab, The University of Hong Kong, advised by Prof. Tao Yu. My research focuses on embodied AI, especially vision-language-action models.

I received my B.S. in Computer Science and Technology from Zhejiang University, where I was advised by Prof. Zhou Zhao.

As a research intern with Alibaba’s Qwen team, I contributed to Qwen-VLA and built a verifiable coding-data pipeline for Qwen3.8 and Qwen3.9. I am also a first author of FineVLA, a framework for aligning robot policies with fine-grained instructions.

Qwen-VLA

A generalist policy across tasks, environments, and robot embodiments.
