About
Pin-Wei Chen is a robotics researcher whose work centers on autonomous systems for challenging, unstructured environments, with a particular focus on aerial and surface vehicles. His most notable contribution is the development of "Duckiefloat," a collision-tolerant, resource-constrained blimp designed for long-term autonomy in subterranean settings. This work, which has garnered 23 citations, directly addresses the mobility, perception, and communication challenges highlighted by the DARPA Subterranean Challenge, offering a novel, low-power alternative to traditional aerial robots. Chen’s research also extends to autonomous surface vehicles, as demonstrated by his leadership in Team NCTU for the RobotX Challenge. His paper on advancing AI-driving for these vehicles, with 5 citations, showcases his work on critical tasks like obstacle avoidance and docking. By bridging the gap between theoretical AI and practical, robust robotic platforms, Chen is making significant strides in deploying autonomous systems in real-world, high-stakes scenarios, from search and rescue to maritime operations.
