About

Anh Luong is a leading researcher in field robotics, specializing in resilient multi-robot systems for extreme environments. Her work addresses fundamental challenges in subterranean exploration, where GPS-denied conditions and complex terrain demand innovative solutions. Luong’s most influential contribution is her comprehensive approach to deploying heterogeneous teams of roving and flying robots for underground missions, detailed in her 2022 paper with 50 citations. This work demonstrates how diverse robotic platforms can overcome mobility, communication, and navigation obstacles through modular, resilient autonomy—a breakthrough that has shaped modern search-and-rescue and planetary exploration strategies. She has also advanced collision prediction for multi-agent systems using ultra-wideband (UWB) range measurements, enabling safer autonomous movement in cluttered spaces. Luong’s research has been recognized for its practical impact, with her subterranean exploration framework serving as a benchmark for the field. Her work continues to push the boundaries of what autonomous robot teams can achieve in the most challenging environments on Earth—and beyond.
