Swarm Robotics (#Robot-to-Robot)

[Figure: Our Drone Swarm Show at Westlake, Hangzhou，杭州-西湖-灯光秀]

We focus on advancing swarm robotics by exploring the fundamental scaling laws that govern collective intelligence. The core objective is to understand how system-level performance—such as the accuracy, robustness, and timeliness of collective model inference—scales with key inputs including communication resource, onboard computing capacity, swarm size, data heterogeneity, and energy constraints. Inspired by well-known theories such as ant colony behavior, multi-agent reinforcement learning, and federated learning, we study how robots can learn to coordinate, share information, and adapt their actions as environments and network conditions change. Ultimately, our research aim to provide principled design guidelines for scalable, resilient, and energy-efficient collective intelligence in real-world swarm robotic systems.

Telerobotics (#Human-to-Robot)

[Figure: Surgical Teleoperation Testbed at CCR Lab. Acknowledgement: Zexin Deng/Lu Tian. Paper accepted by IEEE ICRA workshop 2026.]

Telerobotics offers significant potential for performing complex tasks in hazardous and extreme environments from a distance. When augmented with mixed reality interfaces, telerobotic systems can create a strong sense of physical presence, enabling users to interact with remote environments more intuitively. Despite this promise, many challenges remain unresolved. The effectiveness of telerobotic systems depends critically on low-latency communication across diverse scenarios (e.g. <100 ms for remote surgery). Moreover, the combined effects of network delay, task complexity, shared control strategies, and human operator acceptance and experience are not yet fully understood. Addressing these challenges calls for the development of unified human–robot interaction models, robust communication frameworks, and standardised evaluation benchmarks.

Digital Twin-based Teleoperation over Dynamic Networks

[ Github] [Paper accepted by 2026 IEEE International Conference on Digital Twin]

Our digital twin–based teleoperation tool integrates a 6-DOF robotic manipulator with a Unity-based digital twin and a configurable network emulation framework using tc netem. The platform simulates diverse networking environments including LAN, WiFi (good and congested), 4G, and satellite communication environments for remote teleoperations. The tool provides visualized evaluation of teleoperation responsiveness and synchronization quality, employing both Age of Information (AoI) and our proposed K-AoI metric, a spatio-temporal performance measure that weights information freshness by the robot’s instantaneous Cartesian velocity.

CRoWN-FL: A Simulation Tool for Federated Learning over Wireless Networks

[ Github] [Paper submitted to IEEE Globecom 2026]

CRoWN-FL is a cross-layer simulation framework that integrates robot mobility, time-varying wireless channel modeling, packet-level transmission, and federated learning execution in a closed-loop system. CRoWN-FL is among the first platforms to jointly integrate mobile robotic systems, LTE channel dynamics, and federated learning within a unified framework. The simulator allows flexible configuration of LTE networks (e.g. transmission power, bandwidth, path loss, channel, etc), robotic mobility, FL aggregation method (FedAvg by default), AI models (e.g. RestNet8/10/18), and dataset import (e.g. CIFAR10/100 by default).

CARLA-Round Dataset

[GitHub] [Paper]

CARLA-Round is a simulation dataset for vehicles' trajectory prediction tasks at roundabout. The dataset considers a number of different weather conditions and traffic density levels -ranging from Level of Service A to E-offering 25 traffic scenarios. Experiments with standard baselines (LSTM, GCN, GRU+GCN) show that traffic density dominates prediction difficulty, while weather exhibits non-linear effects.
