About Me
I am currently leading the deployment of a one-stage end-to-end intelligent driving system at Horizon Robotics.
Our team is the first Chinese team to bring such a fully one-stage, lateral-and-longitudinal jointly optimized end-to-end intelligent driving solution into mass production.
Horizon SuperDrive(HSD) has been deployed on multiple vehicle models, including Chery and Changan.
Demo videos are available here
and here.
Previously, I led the trajectory prediction team in the Autonomous Driving Solution of Huawei IAS BU.
I participated in the deployment of autonomous driving algorithms, including BEV, trajectory prediction,
and data-driven decision making. ADS 1.0 and ADS 2.0 have been successfully implemented on multiple vehicles.
I got my PhD degree (thesis) in 2019 from
The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology(HKUST),
supervised by
Ming Liu in RAM Lab.
I received the B.S.(2012) and the M.S.(2014) in Engineering from Harbin Institute of Technology(HIT).
In the last year of the undergraduate, I joined the ABU Robocon as a team member of HIT Competitive Robot Team.
Since then, I started my robotics work.
In 2017, I was a visiting researcher in AIS,
University of Freiburg,
working with Wolfram Burgard and
Joschka Boedecker.
I was also with City University of Hong Kong from Sep 2015 to Aug 2017 which is another long story...

Research
My research interests mainly include deep reinforcement learning and learning from demonstrations on mobile robots.
I have also worked in exploration of reinforcement learning, 3D perception for autonomous driving and human gaze in imitation learning.
Representative works are highlighted.
