Biography

Hi, I'm a Ph.D. student in the department of Mechanical Engineering at the City University of Hong Kong(CityU), advised by Prof. Changhuang WAN. My research interest is mainly about graph rigidity theory applying for multi-robot formation planning and control. Besides, I also pay attention to SLAM (Simultaneous Localization And Mapping), exploration, planning and control of (heterogeneous) multi-robot system, e.g., UAV-UGV.

Before that, I received my Master's Degree in 2025 in the School of Artificial Intelligence, Sun Yat-sen University(SYSU), where I was advised by Prof. Yunxiao Shan and researched in multi-robot cooperative localization.
