In Spring 2025, Ph.D. candidate Xikun Liu from the Trustworthy AI and Autonomous Systems Laboratory (TASLAB) began an academic visit to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) School of Engineering. He is conducting joint research under the supervision of Professor Sriram Narasimhan.
The ground vehicle platform.
During the visit, he will focus on intelligent autonomous planning for ground robots in disaster-relief scenarios. The research addresses key challenges in robotic perception and decision-making in complex and dynamic environments. By integrating techniques such as deep learning and multi-sensor fusion, the project aims to improve robotic autonomy and efficiency in post-disaster response missions, contributing to the development of intelligent urban emergency systems.
The visit lays a solid foundation for continued academic exchange and collaboration between the two groups. Both sides look forward to exploring long-term research partnerships and advancing intelligent robotics.
