Welcome to the School of Automation of Wuhan University of Technology!
On the morning of May 27, Academician Wang Danwei from Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, was invited to visit Wuhan University of Technology (WHUT) and delivered a special academic lecture titled "Robust Sensing for Intelligent Systems" at Conference Room 327 of the East Campus Complex Building.
At the start of the lecture, Professor Zhou Keliang, Dean of the School of Automation, warmly welcomed Academician Wang on behalf of the school and briefly introduced his outstanding academic achievements. Academician Wang Danwei, a Fellow of the Singapore Academy of Engineering and an IEEE Fellow, is renowned in the fields of intelligent systems, robotic perception, and control, with his teaching and research achievements exerting wide international influence. Dean Zhou noted that Academician Wang’s visit would bring cutting-edge academic perspectives to faculty and students, facilitating scientific research development in related fields.
Academician Wang Danwei began by addressing the application of intelligent systems in complex environments, emphasizing the criticality of robust sensing technology. He pointed out that with the rapid advancement of the intelligent era, intelligent systems face numerous challenges in dynamic and changing environments, where robust sensing serves as the core to ensure system stability and reliability. He deeply analyzed perception challenges in mobile autonomous systems and intelligent urban transportation, sharing innovative solutions from NTU’s research team, and explained the practical applications of robust sensing technology in scenarios such as Singapore’s transportation and ports.
During the Q&A session, faculty and students actively posed questions, engaging in in-depth discussions with Academician Wang on the practical applications and future research directions of robust sensing technology in fields such as robot navigation, autonomous driving, and intelligent transportation systems. Drawing on his extensive experience, Academician Wang patiently addressed queries about how to conduct related research and overcome technical bottlenecks, encouraging young scholars to engage in this promising field.
This lecture provided WHUT faculty and students with an opportunity to dialogue with an international top scholar, not only broadening their academic horizons but also laying a solid foundation for future research collaboration. The School of Automation stated that it would take this lecture as an opportunity to further deepen research on intelligent systems and robust sensing technology, promoting interdisciplinary innovation and high-quality disciplinary development.
