Introduction

I am currently a Ph.D. Candidate at School of Electrical & Electronics Engineering, Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, under supervision of Prof. Lihua Xie at Delta-NTU Corporate Laboratory. My research interests include robot motion planning and control, multi-robot motion coordination, and deep reinforcement learning. My project experience includes navigation system design for warehouse automation. Feel free to email me if you are interested in my topic or looking for a robotics expert.

Open Source Projects

Efficient Multi-Robot Trajectory Planner

  • An efficient multi-robot trajectory planner that generates safe, dynamically feasible and near-optimal trajectories for non-holonomic mobile robots in obstacle-rich environments.

Project Experience

2017 - Now
In Collabration with Delta Electronics, Taiwan
This project aims to develop a navigation solution that is adaptable to all types of industry AGVs in manufacturing. The technology consists of mapping and localization in static and dynamic environments, path and trajectory planning and replanning, static and dynamic obstacle avoidance, robust and accurate tracking control, auto-charging and docking, etc. It provides a cost-effective solution that transforms conventional AGVs into smart ones.
