About:
I am a fifth year Ph.D. candidate at Rutgers Robotics Lab advised by Prof. Jingjin Yu.
Before, I got my bachelor's degree of Computer Science from University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in 2018.
Publications (Google scholar):
Computational complexity and effective algorithms for deploying range sensors in R^2.
An intersting result shows for a k-center problem on a simple polygon or the boundary of a simple polygon, the min coverage radius is NP-hard to approx. within 1.152 * OPT.
"Optimal Perimeter Guarding with Heterogeneous Robot Teams: Complexity Analysis and Effective Algorithms", (pdf), S. W. Feng, J. Yu, Robotics and Automation Letter 2020 (also appearing in ICRA 2020).
In this work, problems of deploying heterogeneous types of robots to guard the perimeter of one or multiple regions were studied. Results include hardness analysis, effective exact and approximation algorithms.
"Toward Fast and Optimal Robotic Pick-and-Place on a Moving Conveyor", (pdf), S. D. Han, S. W. Feng, J. Yu, Robotics and Automation Letter 2020 (also appearing in ICRA 2020).
We studied how to find an optimal / near optimal picking sequence for objects on a moving conveyor belt.
Academic Service:
Reviewer or subreviewer for ICRA, RA-L, IROS, AAMAS.
Misc:
Robotics Challenge: Team RuBot from Rutgers got 2nd and 3rd place in Agile Robotics for Industrial Automation Competition (ARIAC) in 2019 and 2020 respectively (department news).
In this contest, robotic arms were deployed in a simulated environment to complete tasks for autonomous shipments.
A talk was given at ARIAC workshop in AIM 2020.
