About Us

Key Laboratory of Autonomous Systems and Network Control, Ministry of Education, was founded in 2011 with the support of Ministry of Education and South China University of Technology. It is an experimental platform with a whole set of theory system of network unmanned autonomous system and related applications, and it’s also a center that studies advanced network autonomous systemtheory and technology, and develops actual small autonomous system.

The director of academic Committee is academician Tianyou Chai, the director of the lab is professor Hailong Pei. The team members involve in different branches of modern control theories, mainly composed of several related team "Xing Hua talent project" fromSchool of Automation Science and engineering of SCUT, and join with researchers of School of Computer Science and Engineering and School of Civil Engineering and Transportation.

The team mainly consists of middle-aged and young researchers, who make full expression to their initiative and creativeness. Itincludes 22 professors, more than 20 associate professors, 1Cheung Kongscholars chair professor, 2 national outstanding youth fund winners, 6 "new century excellent talents". The proportion of senior professional title is highup to 80%, the average age of the team is 39, 48 team members have Ph.D.degree. Six of the fixed researchers are high-level personnel "one hundred talents project" directly imported from abroad.

In addition, the key laboratory has a strong research team, including 9 postdoctoral and visiting scholars, 39 Ph.D studentsand more than one hundred postgraduate students.

The main research fields are autonomous behavior theory and method, network coordination control of autonomous system, autonomous system oriented self-organization network environment and network control, application oriented network autonomous systems design and integration, etc.

The lab is combined by the four research branchlabs and one innovation base, respectively is no independent system room, intelligent systems and information processing chamber, network control and optimization of chamber, intelligent transportation and coordinated control chamber, embedded system and innovation cultivation base of numerical control equipment technology.

         The lab in line with the spirit of "open, flow, joint, competitive", carries out various forms of cooperation and manage operation effectively, adheres to the mode of university-industry cooperation with enterprises, and gain full support from enterprises in the each section to reduce the time of the industrialization of scientific and technological achievements.
