Due to limited enrollment quotas, students who are interested in the research areas (including summer camp applicants, pre-exemption candidates, postgraduate entrance examination candidates, joint-training students, and interns) are welcome to contact me promptly at shaoshiliang@sia.cn. I generally reply to each student’s email within one day.

We welcome students from a broad range of undergraduate majors, including automation, artificial intelligence, computer science, electronics, communications, mechanical engineering, and other robotics-related disciplines.

After the supervisor-student relationship is established, your specific research topic will be determined based on your research interests and future plans (whether pursuing a Ph.D. or entering the workforce), in combination with my research directions.

The lab is equipped with various types of sensors such as LiDAR and depth cameras, as well as multiple robotic platforms for student use. These include self-developed wheeled, wheel-legged, tracked, and amphibious robots, as well as purchased platforms of different sizes. The lab has sufficient computational resources, providing students with local independent GPUs and remote high-performance computing servers. The lab maintains a harmonious relationship between supervisors and students and fosters a positive research atmosphere.
