XLANG Lab

Welcome to the Executable Language Grounding (XLANG) Lab! We are part of the HKU NLP Group at the University of Hong Kong. We focus on developing grounded AI agents that empower users to use language to interact with digital and physical environments to carry out real-world tasks. Our systems ground language and perception into code and actions executable in the corresponding environments, including databases (data/coding agent), computers (computer use agent), and the physical world (robotic agent) etc,. Through these agents, we aim to enable non-experts to access complex systems such as databases, software, and robots while unlocking functionalities across existing applications and physical systems that dramatically expand AI capabilities.
