BINBIN XU
PhD Student
Department of Computing
Imperial College London

I am a PhD student at the Smart Robotics Lab , Imperial College London, working with Dr.
Stefan Leutenegger and Prof. Andrew Davison. I'm currently doing a research internship at Facebook Reality Labs.
My current research interest is to achieve an object-level SLAM system working in a
dynamic environment. I am also broadly interested in SLAM, robotics and computational photography.
Brief Bio
Before starting my PhD at Imperial College London, I received my Master degree in Precision Engineering from
the University of Tokyo in 2017, supervised by Assoc.
Prof. Atsushi Yamashita and Prof.
Hajime Asama. Before that, I got my Bachelor's degree in Information Engineering from South China
University of Technology in 2014.
