About
Yajun An is a robotics and agricultural automation researcher whose work focuses on intelligent navigation systems for confined livestock environments. His primary contributions lie in developing autonomous mobile robots for precision poultry house management, with particular emphasis on LiDAR-based localization and control in high-density stacked-cage settings. An’s most cited work introduces the "Poultry-Patrolman" inspection robot, a novel platform designed to navigate the narrow, obstacle-rich corridors of modern poultry facilities. To overcome the limitations of traditional navigation in these cluttered spaces, he proposed a single-line LiDAR navigation line extraction method and implemented a hybrid control strategy combining the CHGAPSO optimization algorithm with an EKF-PID controller. This approach enables robust lane keeping and path tracking under challenging conditions. While his research is still early in its citation lifecycle, with 3 citations for his flagship 2025 paper, the work represents a significant step toward automating health monitoring and environmental sensing in high-density animal agriculture. An’s contributions are particularly relevant for researchers working at the intersection of field robotics, precision livestock farming, and autonomous navigation in semi-structured environments.
