2019 OpenPOWER+OpenCAPI Heterogeneous Computing Design Contest

Published:

Team won the Second Prize of National Finals. We designed the software and the convolution unit on hardware for computation acceleration, implemented the Meta-Pruning algorithm on Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), and achieved an overall 23.5% speed increase of model inferring by using an FPGA+CPU hybrid operation mode.

Mecanum Wheeled Mobile Robot

Published:

In this project, we designed and implemented a platform for a Mecanum wheeled mobile robot, including signal control of hardware units and logical control of ROS nodes with remote display. The system includes SLAM algorithms (gmapping and cartographer). We evaluated the mapping quality for indoor scenes.

Learning Temporally Consistent 3D Robot Mapping

Published:

In this project, we developed a 3D GRU fusion layer based on NeuralBlox and proposed an observation memory function with free space encoding to capture temporal changes when mapping in a dynamic environment.

Panoptic Vision-Language Feature Fields

IEEE RA-L, 2023

In this paper, we proposed a open-vocabulary panoptic system based on neural fields for scene understanding. Our method implicitly reconstructs the scene geometry from 2D images and simultaneously gains panoptic informaiton from 2D proposals computed by off-the-shelf 2D networks.
