2. Research Field And Achievements

Ø Research Field

Our research on robots is primarily divided into two research directions: High Dexterous Manipulation Ability and All-terrain Mobility.

In the field of High Dexterous Manipulation Ability, our research includes 3D panoramic reconstruction algorithms capable of dense reconstruction, dual-arm teleoperated robotic systems integrating digital twin technology, and next-generation self-learning controllers for robots. We have achieved notable success in test tube sorting tasks, with a single sorting time of less than 5.5 seconds and a sorting accuracy of 97.8%. Furthermore, we have accomplished precision levels of up to 0.02mm in plug-in assembly tasks.

In the field of All-terrain Mobility, our research includes algorithms for constructing 3D global maps with high accuracy and consistency, dynamically robust all-terrain motion planning algorithms and motion control algorithms. These researches can be applied to intelligent autonomous navigation for multiple platforms such as wheeled, legged, and humanoid robots.
