Publications

TacLoc: Global Tactile Localization on Objects from a Registration Perspective
TacLoc estimates object pose from tactile data via one-shot partial-to-full point cloud registration, using normal-guided graph pruning for efficient localization without rendered or pre-trained data.
Projects

Chronos Chain
Interface-driven subsystems with state machines expose minimal APIs and atomic commands, enabling hardware-agnostic robotics through composable, orchestratable behaviors.

CoTiMo Planner
CoTiMo stands for Collision-Free Smooth Path Generation + Time Optimal Path Parameterization + Model Predictive Control.

Intelligent Book Recommendation System
Excellent Award of 2023 Rhino-Bird Middle School Science Research Training Program
This project aims to improve the accuracy and personalization of school library services under the guidance of Prof. Chuan Shi (BUPT).

Balance Swerve: A single wheel balance movement device
The invention is a single-wheel balance motion device with an omnidirectional wheel and gear-driven steering mechanism, enabling quick multi-angle steering and high maneuverability.
