Jiawei Tang

I am a second-year PhD student in HKUST working with Prof. Ling Shi. I obtained MPhil degree from HKUST in August 2021 and bachelor degree from PolyU in June 2019.

From Oct 2021 to Aug 2022, I was a full-time C++ software engineer in Huawei Car BU. From Sept 2018 to Jun 2019, I worked with Prof. Kenneth Lam on face recognition. In the summer of 2018, I worked in Robot Perception Lab at CMU with Prof. Michael Kaess. Prior to that, I was a power electronics intern at ASM Pacific Technology.

My research interests lie at control, optimization and robotics. Currently, I am working on numerical methods for trajectory optimization and geometrical optimal control. Slelected works are listed in Publications and Projects. In my spare time, there is nothing better than running in Victoria Harbour, hiking in MacLehose Trail and doing water sports in Clear Water Bay.

Paper I read recently can be found in Reading Records.

Projects
Multi-robot Testbed
Jiawei Tang*, Sil Kwong Tse*, Yik Ben Wong*

We built a physical multi-robot testbed and a ROS-based simulation platform from scratch. We demonstrated various control algorithms, including formation control, path planning with MPC, cooperative control, extended Kalman filter, and so on.

Percpeption, Planning and Control for Quadrotor
Jiawei Tang

An integrated project on a quadrotor, where I implemented optimal path planner, optimization-based trajectory generator and two-loop PID controller for control and planning, optical flow based visual odometry with a stereo camera, and extended Kalman filter for state estimation and sensor fusion.

Learning-based Position Control
Jiawei Tang

I implemented a learning-based position control algorithm for fun. The pipeline is based on Tai's IROS 2017. I implemented a Pytorch version and trained it for 1500 episodes in Gazebo simulation. The controller works but the performance......

SLAM Simulation Project in VREP
Jiawei Tang

The final project of Robotic Perception and Learning (ELEC5670 & COMP5223) @ HKUST. Tasks include mobile robot control, SLAM, image recognition and localization, ball tracking with camera.

Low-Resolution Face Recognition
Jiawei Tang

In my final-year project, I solved the low-resolution face recognition problem by considering the difference between high-resolution and low-resolution features. Meanwhile, I developed an online face verification demo page for this FYP based on Flask, HTML, javascript and CSS.
