We build navigation systems for real platforms — vehicles, robots, drones, smartphones, wearables. These require tight GNSS/INS/LiDAR/camera/UWB/Wi-Fi fusion, robustness to low-cost sensors, and seamless operation across open-sky, urban canyon, indoor, and GNSS-denied conditions.
The thread spans smartphone-grade urban positioning (3DMA GNSS for L5/E5a/B2a smartphone receivers; ITF-ITSP HK$801k AI-aided Smartphone Urban Positioning for HK Smart Cities), autonomous-vehicle perception integration (LiDAR + camera + GNSS + INS), UAV navigation (Limin Endowed Young Scholar in Aerospace Navigation), and indoor positioning anchored by the 2025 Artech House book Principles of Indoor Positioning and Indoor Navigation (Hsu, Zhang, Wen) and IPIN 2024 General Chair role.
