PolyU TAS LAB’s Website

The Trustworthy AI and Autonomous Systems (TAS) Laboratory is at the forefront of pioneering advancements in autonomous systems (such as UAV and self-driving cars) technology, emphasizing the importance of safety, reliability, and ethical standards. Our laboratory is home to a diverse group of researchers and engineers who specialize in artificial intelligence, robotics, cybersecurity, and human-system interaction. Together, we are committed to developing autonomous systems that inspire confidence and trust among users and stakeholders. Through collaborative efforts with industry partners, academic institutions, and policymakers, our team addresses the complex challenges of integrating autonomous systems into society, ensuring they operate transparently and responsibly.

Our research aims to build algorithm foundations for embodied AI that enable trustworthy perception, navigation, and control of autonomous systems. We develop practical embodied AI-driven autonomous systems — including drones, intelligent vehicles, and legged/humanoid robots — with end-to-end learning and safety certification capabilities, enabling them to perceive, reason, and interact with the physical world safely and reliably for the future society. Our work spans large AI models for autonomous systems, foundation models and vision-language-action models for robotic perception and control, AI-enabled multi-sensor fusion, and software-hardware co-design for efficient embodied AI systems.
