Selected Projects
Freeform Robot
Modular self-reconfigurable robotic systems possess strong self-adaptation and self-healing capabilities, enabling them to cope with various tasks in complex and dynamic environments. Most existing modular self-reconfigurable robots have connection constraints on the mechanical structure. Their relative positioning and motion planning capabilities are also limited to structured environments, which differ from real and changing environments. To break these limitations, this project aims to develop key technologies for modular self-reconfiguration robots to be applied in unstructured environments. The research results can provide a theoretical and technical foundation for the development of swarm robots and field robots, and can also be widely applied in various areas, including search and rescue, space exploration, and others.

Multi-robot Self-contained Relative Localization
Recent years have seen a surge of interest in the field of multi-robot relative localization within the robotics community. It’s worth noting that robots can operate across a broad spectrum of distances, ranging from direct contact at 0mm to over 100 meters. Moreover, each robot can function independently within the workspace. Given that no single method offers sufficient accuracy across the full range, we address various segments of localization using unique approaches. In our exploration of relative localization techniques, we evaluate the utility of magnetic arrays, direct vision detection and measurement, Ultra-wideband (UWB), and visual semantic landmarks.

Heterogeneous Multi-robot Planning
A heterogeneous multi-robot cooperative system comprises a team of robots with diverse configurations that can collaborate to accomplish complex tasks in dynamic environments. We study the problems of accurate modeling, real-time solving, and dynamic adaptation for the collaborative planning problem of heterogeneous multi-robot systems. By constructing a constrained multi-task assignment and scheduling model, we use operations research algorithms and machine learning techniques to solve and analyze specific scenario tasks. The research results offer theoretical support for the application of robots in complex and dynamic environments within real-world settings. Future application scenarios include unmanned mines, security, anti-terrorism, dynamic path planning, human-machine co-adaptation, etc.

Multi-robot Environment Perception
In multi-robot systems, environment perception and data fusion from different sources are crucial for effective collaboration. This research aims to address the challenges associated with data matching and visual interference in such systems, focusing on three main issues:
1. Data Matching Difficulty due to Time Differences: The difference in data collection times can lead to variations in lighting conditions, making it challenging to match and fuse data from multiple sources.
2. Data Matching Difficulty due to Viewpoint Differences: The different perspectives from which robots collect data can cause inconsistencies, making it difficult to match and integrate the information for a comprehensive understanding of the environment.
3. Visual Interference among Robots in the Same Environment: As multiple robots move and operate within the same environment, they may generate visual interference with each other, further complicating data matching and fusion processes.
This study aims to propose solutions to overcome these challenges and improve the overall performance of multi-robot collaborative systems in complex environments.

Omni-directional Vehicle
A novel omnidirectional steer-by-wire system is proposed for omni-directional vehicles. The system includes an extended steering interface and a behavior-based steering controller. The extended steering interface offers a novel method of manipulation for the vehicle driver. The driver can control the vehicle in the traditional way or omnidirectionally without any mode switching operation. The reservation of the traditional driving way makes it easy for the driver to adapt to the novel steering interface.

Ocean Robotics
Ocean exploration has captured the interest of humankind for thousands of years. This project focuses on developing an energy-sustainable robot for ocean exploration. One of the solutions is harnessing wind power for a vehicle's propulsion using a sail. This project presents a new autonomous surface vehicle (ASV) based on retrofitting a trimaran sailing boat. The sail and rudder control are motorized by three electric actuators. The ASV acquires signals for wind speed and direction, GPS position, and rolling angle, and determines its heading based on the wind direction.
In wave-driven unmanned surface vehicles (WUSVs), the swinging foil is the most straightforward and widely used mechanism for energy conversion. A deformable foil is proposed, which can enhance the wave energy-converting efficiency to provide a more significant thrust in every wave cycle. We break down the movement of the foils and build the corresponding dynamic model to analyze their working effectiveness. The thrust enhancement of the foil in the wave is verified through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, and the optimal parameters are identified in relation to the specific wave environment. Compared with the traditional rigid foil, our deformable foil can provide 15.9% more thrust to the WUSVs.
