About me
I am an Associate Professor at the School of Electrical Engineering and Automation, Anhui University, where I supervise doctoral and master's students. My research focuses on multi-robot systems, including swarm control, cooperative perception, and information-driven planning in real-world environments. I received my Ph.D. in Aeronautical and Astronautical Science and Technology from Harbin Institute of Technology in November 2021. From August 2018 to August 2019, I undertook CSC-funded joint doctoral research with Prof. Roland Siegwart at the Autonomous Systems Lab, ETH Zurich.
Research interests
- Distributed coordination and control of multi-robot systems and UAV swarms
- Cooperative localization, positioning-service deployment, and coverage control
- Cooperative perception, information-driven planning, and autonomous exploration
- Intelligent robotic actuators and motion control
