TL;DR: M.Phil. Student in Robotics who likes to code! Research mainly on state estimation, control systems, and control theory. Check out my latest CV here!
I am currently a M. Phil. student at Autonomous & Intelligent Robotics Lab (AIRO-Lab) at Department of Aeronautical and Aviation Engineering, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. My supervisors are Prof. Chih-yung Wen and Dr. Boyang Li. We are also with Research Centre of Unmanned Autonomous Systems (RCUAS). Prior to my post-graduate studies, I was a research assistant at Hong Kong Center for Construction Robotics (HKCRC), which is a research insitution under The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology led by Prof. Zexiang Li.
I'll be graduating as Master of Philosophy in September of 2024, and with working thesis title, "On Improving the Adaptivity of Controllers and Estimators for Mobile Robots in Challenging Operational Conditions", whose research content mainly lies within the intersection of robot state estimation, control systems, and control theory. This project is driven by the necessity to remotely control a UAV in non-inertial control frames and multi-agent localization redundacies. To determine the robot's state, we solely rely on on-ground cameras and transmitted control signals, while employing iterated extended Kalman filtering and extended state observer. Drop me a message if you want to discourse with me on my work!
