The project, directed by tenured associate prof. Gao Fei from CSE, was supported by NSFC for Excellent Young Scientists in 2023. Gao has been devoted to the research of aerial robots. For the autonomous navigation and fast collision avoidance of single and multiple flying agents. The research will focus on the multi-sensor fusion-based robust distributed perception, the geometric method for high-speed multirotor planning, the large-scale aerial swarm motion planning, and the micro aerial robot and large-scale swarm architecture design. It aims to develop fully autonomous single and multiple micro drone platforms, make breakthroughs in the fundamental theoretical and technical difficulties of swarm robots, and promote the development of trajectory planning, perception, and swarm intelligence in the robotics area.
