Overview

As a highly motivated and collaborative student majoring in engineering, I have a strong interest in construction robotics, and my current research focuses on developing a welding robot and rebar tying robot. Therefore, I have gained valuable experience in robotic arms, depth cameras, and machine learning. During my Master's studies, I participated in three construction robotics projects and published nine papers and patents, accumulating approximately ￥1,000,000.

Research Experience

Personal Info
Automated robotic shear studs welding for steel-box beams bridge based on the integration of CAD 2D drawings and structured light camera
Supervisors: Prof. Lu Deng and Prof. Ran Cao
Leader
May. 2023 – Present
  • Provided an AutoCAD plug-in for extracting the X-Y welding point coordinate of shear studs from CAD drawings.
  • Introduced a new algorithm, ‘Fast-Pixel-Matching’(FPM) to map the 2D coordinates to the 3D space.
  • Based on our experiment, the FPM provides efficiency with 7,000 times more than the manual method and similar accuracy in welding orientation estimation as light section sensors but at a much lower cost.
  • Achievements: Generated two research papers and one patent and made a topic presentation in ISARC, Lille, France.
Automated welding of complex rebar joints in rebar cages for prefabricated concrete shear walls
Supervisors: Prof. Lu Deng and Prof. Ran Cao
Leader
Nov. 2023 – Present
  • Provided a new algorithm, ‘Rotate-ICP’, to estimate the 6-DOF welding pose of complex rebar cage joints based on point cloud. In the future, we will also adopt an end-to-end method to address this problem.
  • Rotate-ICP has already been applied to robotic arm welding, achieving a welding success rate of nearly 100%. The welding execution efficiency is 6 seconds per joint, which is approximately on par with manual welding efficiency.
  • Achievements: Generated a research paper and a patent (Working Manuscript)
Tying rebars at the intersection joints of reinforcing cage with a robotic arm based on UGV
Supervisors: Prof. Lu Deng and Prof. Ran Cao
Member
May 2023 – Present
  • Target identification of stirrup joints is conducted using YOLOv8 / CenterNet, guiding the robotic arm to tie the intersection joints of the reinforcing cage. We integrated the UR10 robotic arm onto the UGV to tie rebar cages.
National undergraduate training program for innovation and entrepreneurship & student research training program
Supervisors: Prof. Zuocai Wang
Principal member
Mar. 2020 – Jan. 2022
  • Utilize dynamic analysis software, a coupled vehicle-bridge dynamic analysis is performed on the composite beam bridge composed of vehicles and steel plates.
  • Damping devices are designed for vibration control, and the load-bearing capacity of the steel beams is analyzed using ANSYS.
  • Achievements: Generated three research papers and a patent.
