CMU Robotics Institute (RI) is a research-oriented organization. There are not under-graduate students, so the tenure-tracked faculties are usually jointly appointed with other departments (such as CS or ECE). The research faculties (research scientists) are treated as faculty in Robotics Institute. If you go to the RI web page, you will find many well-established research faculties.
By looking at the webpage in CMU RI, Xu was indeed a research faculty in RI (senior research scientist) when he was appointed the department head in HK Chinese university.
