Dr. Xu Hao is currently an associate research professor at the Institute of Unmanned Systems, Beihang University (BUAA). He received his Ph.D. from the Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, where he was supervised by Prof. Shaojie Shen. He later worked as a multi-sensor information fusion algorithm engineer at DJI. His research interests include 1) state estimation for drone swarms; 2) cooperative and distributed SLAM (CSLAM); and 3) autonomous drone swarm systems. Dr. Xu has published papers in top robotics journals and conferences such as IEEE Transactions on Robotics, IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, and ICRA, IROS, and serves as a reviewer for these venues. Dr. Xu Hao was awarded the Best Paper Award by the top international robotics journal, IEEE Transactions on Robotics. This was the first time the award was given to a team from China (including Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan). He has also released several open-source algorithms and software, including D2SLAM, Omni-Swarm, VINS-Fisheye, and FoxTracker.
