My name is Yunfan REN (δ»»δΊεΈ)π¨βπ, and I am a
final-year Ph.D. candidate in Robotics π€ (expected
graduation: October 2025) at the
University of Hong Kong
in the
MaRS Lab. My research focuses on
Aerial Robots Navigation,
Swarm Intelligence, and
Optimal Control. I am the
first author of five papers, including
1 in
, 3 in IROS, and
1 in ICRA (Outstanding Navigation Paper
Finalist).
Beyond academia, I actively contribute to open-source projects. My research code on GitHub has accumulated over 3.6k stars β. Notable repositories include ROG-Map (β 323), FAST-LIVO2 (β 1.2k), and LiDAR_IMU_Init (β 868).
