I. Personal Profile
Dr. Liang Lu's main research areas are semantic perception, navigation, and motion planning for intelligent robots. From 2017 to 2021, he conducted doctoral research in the Machine Vision and Aerial Robotics (CVAR) group at the Robotics and Automation Research Center (CAR-UPM-CSIC), a joint project between the Polytechnic University of Madrid and the Spanish National Institute for Advanced Study, and received the highest honorary doctorate in robotics and automation (CAM LAUDE Mention). During his doctoral studies, he participated as a member of the competition committee in the indoor competition design of the 2019 World Micro-UAV Competition (IMAV 2019). As a key member, he participated in the 2020 Mohammed bin Zayed Robotics Challenge (MBZIRC 2020), a top-level competition in the robotics field, achieving third place in the finals. As a key member, he participated in the 2021 OpenCV Global AI Competition, achieving third place in the European, Russian, and Oceania regions. After graduating with his doctorate, he went to the renowned European robotics research institution, the Italian Institute of Technology (Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia), in December 2021, and then to the Innovative Garment Technology R&D Center, jointly established by the University of Hong Kong and Tohoku University in Japan, in April 2023 to work as a postdoctoral researcher. During his doctoral and postdoctoral studies, he published more than 20 journal and conference papers, with a total of more than 300 citations and an H-index of 10. Among them, more than 10 papers were corresponding or first-author papers, including flagship journals in the field of robotics such as IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters and top journals in the field of field robotics such as Journal of Field Robotics.
