Research
Our research goal is to enhance the autonomy and generalization of robotic systems in open environments. By leveraging cross-disciplinary knowledge such as deep learning, robotics, and control, our research interests lies on Embodied Robotics: Spatial-AI perception, Cognitive navigation, Cross-embodiment intelligence. We have developed a variety of robot systems that operate in structured/semi-structured/field environments.
We are looking for candidates who have strong self-motivation, intense interest in robotic systems, and desire to combine artificial intelligence with practical robotics systems. For prospective students: If you are interested in working with us as a Master/PhD student or intership student, please feel free to contact me.
