Current Projects
Project 1: Wireless Networked Robotics
With the advance of M2M communications, wireless robotic networks can be formed to handle more complex and time-critical tasks in a distributed and parallel manner. The project aims to address:
- controllable mobility to enhance cross-layer optimization of communication protocols;
- M2M to support dynamic resource management and self-organization for a team of cooperative robots.

Project 2: Cloud Networked Robotics
Cloud Robotics is a new yet exciting field that deals with the concept of a network of robots leveraging ubiquitous cloud for collective intelligence. Diverse applications are now being proposed to utilize the benefit of cloud services for robotic networks. A typical example is “Noise Patrol Robots” that assist to better deal with urban noise problem in the smart city domain.

Project 3: Real-Time Internet of Things
The Internet of things (IoT) is an emerging revolution, which targets anytime connectivity for anything to create smart environments in which there is fast-paced interaction between systems and between such systems and people. The project aims to develop a Fog computing empowered IoT platform, including the design of network architecture and algorithms, to provide real-time services for smart city applications (e.g., smart grid and smart transportation).

Project 4: Distributed and Stochastic Network Optimization
Optimization theory has been widely applied to communication networks and become an essential modeling language and design method. We are interested in this project to develop distributed and/or stochastic optimization algorithms for diverse networking problems such as congestion control, resource allocation and cross-layer design.
