Research Directions

Our team is dedicated to cutting-edge research in intelligent navigation, focusing on innovative solutions and applications. We aim to address the challenges of high-precision augmented positioning and sensor fusion perception for robots in complex dynamic environments. Our goal is to empower robots with robust environmental awareness, autonomous decision-making capabilities, and full-scenario mobility. Specific areas include:

1. Deep Learning and Robot Intelligent Navigation (SLAM);

2. GNSS/INS integrated navigation system;

3. Optimal filtering and data fusion;

4. Embedded system design and development.
