Short Bio.
Dr. Jinjin Yan is an Associate Professor at the Qingdao Innovation and Development Center, Harbin Engineering University. He earned his PhD from the Faculty of Built Environment at UNSW in November 2020. In October 2016, he began his PhD research in the Department of Urbanism at Delft University of Technology. He transferred to UNSW in February 2018 to continue his research. He completed his master’s degree (2013-2016) and bachelor’s degree (2009-2013) in the Faculty of Information Engineering at China University of Geosciences in Wuhan. His current research focuses on the collaborative path planning of unmanned swarm systems, including their collaborative topology, control, and full coverage path planning. His work also encompasses collaborative task allocation for unmanned swarm systems, SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping), ROS (Robot Operating System), and the development of path-planning algorithms based on artificial intelligence and swarm intelligence for unmanned systems.
