The two players exchanged the opening frames before two 50 breaks in the same frame saw Xiao move 2-1 ahead.
But Robertson, who has spoken to Eurosport's Des Kane about his partner's successful battle with depression, fought back with a 114 to level matters.
He then went ahead with a break of 128 that saw a fluke early on although another half-century from Xiao made it 3-3.
Robertson's third century put him one away from victory but Xiao didn't give up and forced a decider.
But it was 'The Thunder from Down Under' who triumphed and he sets up a blockbuster of a semi-final where he will play either Ronnie O'Sullivan or John Higgins on Saturday night.
Later on Judd Trump breezed into the semi-finals with a comprehensive 5-2 victory over Stephen Maguire.
