I am a PHD student in the Thrust of Robotics and Autonomous Systems (ROAS) within the Systems Hub at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology under the Guangzhou Pilot Scheme. Before that, I worked as a senior robotics engineer at XAG. The associated trajectory replanning algorithm and safe backup policy have been used in over 50 countries and regions.
My research interests include Autonomous Driving, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, Multi-agent Systems, Motion Planning and Safe Learning-based Control.

Enforcing safety while preventing overly conservative behaviors is essential for autonomous vehicles to achieve high task performance. In this project, we propose a barrier-enhanced homotopic parallel trajectory optimization approach with over-relaxed alternating direction method of multipliers for real-time integrated decision-making and planning in cluttered driving environments.
This project presents a cutting-edge approach for safe and efficient autonomous driving in dense traffic scenarios. Our proposed Spatiotemporal Receding Horizon Control (ST-RHC) scheme generates dynamically feasible and energy-efficient trajectories in real-time, enabling vehicles to accurately perform complex driving tasks. The algorithm employs receding horizon optimization and iterative parallel methods to design a trajectory tree that optimizes planning and ensures proactive interaction to avoid accidents. We have implemented our algorithms on an autonomous car, successfully achieving vehicle following, lane changing, overtaking, and cruise driving in dense traffic flow simulations based on ROS2.
Once received return control signal, the drone must generate smooth trajectories in real-time to avoid collision and be close to the reference spraying path to realize high-performance precision spraying in precision farming.
Multi-agent in precision farming.
Designed efficient incremental Gaussian Processes accounting for airflow uncertainties. The wind disturbance caused by the external environment is estimated to improve flight safety and control stability in cluttered environments. Following that, the estimated wind disturbance is used to compensate for the associated control error.
For safety-critical vehicles in mixed traffic flow where most vehicles are human-driven, each autonomous vehicle keeps tracking its front vehicle at a desired constant speed while maintaining a safe following distance with it in normal situations. However, when a vehicle decelerates urgently in unexpected situations, the vehicle behind has to reduce its speed to avoid collision with the front vehicle. In these cases, there exists a conflict between safety and stable high-performance tracking. For safety-critical autonomous vehicles, safety must not be violated and the tracking errors should be kept as small as possible.
To achieve high-speed autonomous flight of aerial vehicles and realize high-performance precision spraying in precision farming. Trajectories must be generated in real-time to avoid collision and be close to the reference spraying path. Because of the high navigation speed, short sensing range, and unknown environments, response time is extremely limited, making generating high-quality trajectories a significant challenge.
