TCDS paper accepted: HD-VINS
“HD-VINS: Highly Dynamic Visual-Inertial Navigation by Decoupling Dynamic-Static Residuals” accepted to IEEE Transactions on Cognitive and Developmental Systems. The paper proposes decoupling dynamic and static residuals for robust visual-inertial navigation in highly dynamic environments.
Deputy Secretary-General, Guangdong Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Association
Serving as Deputy Secretary-General of the Guangdong Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Association since July 2026.
Science Robotics paper accepted: Cross-Robot Behavior Adaptation
“Cross-Robot Behavior Adaptation through Intention Alignment” accepted to Science Robotics. The work, co-led with X. Chen, enables behavior adaptation across different robot platforms through intention alignment.
IROS 2026 paper accepted: TeamWeaver
“TeamWeaver: Hybrid LLM and Optimization-based Planning with Transparent Constraints in Heterogeneous Multi-Robot Teams” accepted to IEEE/RSJ IROS 2026. The paper proposes a hybrid framework coupling LLM semantic grounding with MIQP optimization for transparent multi-robot task allocation.
