Introduction to Intelligent Robot System Design

Gang Peng, PhD, has research interests in intelligent robotics and intelligent manufacturing systems, intelligent sensing and control based on sensor fusion, intelligent analysis of industrial big data, AI, and machine learning algorithms. He has long been engaged in teaching, research, and development of intelligent robot control, multi-sensor integration and information fusion, intelligent driving, and human-robot collaborative systems. He has edited and published three Chinese monographs and one Springer English monograph. He has co-edited two Chinese monographs and one English translation. Additionally, as the first author or corresponding author, he has published papers in IEEE Transactions and other international journals in the field of robotics and automation, and has been granted more than 30 patents. Furthermore, he has presided over and completed the product transfer of scientific and technological achievements. He has been awarded the Outstanding Instructor Award of Huazhong University of Science and Technology for national major competitions and science and technology innovation many times and has supervised graduate students who have won provincial and municipal innovation and entrepreneurial talent awards. Tin Lun LAM, PhD, Senior member of IEEE, serves as an assistant professor at Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen), Executive Deputy Director of the National-local Joint Engineering Laboratory of Robotics and Intelligent Manufacturing, and Director of Research at the Center on Intelligent Robots of Shenzhen Institute of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics for Society. His research focus includes new mobile robots, multi-robot systems, field robotics, soft robotics, and human-robot interaction. He has published two monographs and over 50 papers in top international journals and conferences in the field of robotics and automation and has been granted more than 60 patents. He has received the IEEE/ASME T-MECH Best Paper Award andIROS Best Paper Award on Robot Mechanisms and Design. Chunxu Hu, the founder of the robotics community “Guyuehome,” obtained his master’s degree from the School of Artificial Intelligence and Automation of Huazhong University of Science and Technology. He focuses on the promotion and application of robot operating system and is an evangelist of the China ROS Foundation. He has been awarded the honorary title of one of the 10 most influential people in ROS in 2019. Yu Yao, PhD, has been teaching, researching, and developing computer operating systems, AI technologies, and machine learning algorithms for many years. Jintao Liu, PhD, the founder of ExBot Robotics Lab, has translated and published more than ten ROS books and is dedicated to the promotion and application of robot operating system. Fan Yang, extramural advisor of graduate student at Tsinghua University, has been dedicated to the research of intelligent robots and intelligent hardware innovation and entrepreneurship. He has completed the marketing of several products, achieving good economic and social benefits. He is one of the editors of China’s White Paper on Artificial Intelligence Education, an evangelist of the China ROS Foundation, and a co-founder of the “Spark Project” ROS public classes.
