About myself

I’m currently a Postdoc at the Department of Automation, Tsinghua University (THU). My PhD is from State Key Laboratory of Intelligent Manufacturing Equipment and Technology, Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST). My research focuses on perception for cross-domain robots.

Cross-domain robots

What is a Cross-Domain Robot? Unlike traditional amphibious robots that simply navigate between land and water, cross-domain robots are designed for high-performance maneuverability across diverse environments, including land, water surfaces, underwater, and the seabed.

Challenges: The core challenge lies in achieving robust, accurate, and intelligent perception within varying physical media and during media transitions (e.g., water entry and exit). My work aims to provide the essential perceptual framework required to enable fully autonomous intelligence for cross-domain robotic systems.
