  • Introduction
  • About the lab: The Autonomous Systems Lab (ASL) (自主系統實驗室) is directed by Prof. Yuxiang Sun (Chinese: 孫宇翔). Our lab studies AI-powered robotics and autonomous systems, with a focus on autonomous driving and mobile robots. Our mission is to create reliable perception and control systems that navigate autonomous robots in real complex environments at a large scale. Our lab has been sponsored by various funding bodies, including the University Grants Committee (大學教育資助委員會), Research Grants Council of Hong Kong (香港研究資助局), Hong Kong Innovation and Technology Commission (香港創新科技署), National Natural Science Foundation of China (国家自然科学基金委员会), Department of Science and Technology of Guangdong Province (广东省科学技术厅), and world-leading AI companies, such as Huawei (華為) and Baidu (百度), etc. Our lab also received funding for two PhD positions from the highly competitive Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme (HKPFS).

    Our keywords: Robotics and AI, Autonomous Driving, Intelligent Transportation Systems, Autonomous Systems, Mobile Robotics, Quadruped Robotics, Automation in Construction, Robotic Perception, Autonomous Navigation, Vision-and-Language Navigation, etc.
