About
Di An’s research advances multi-robot systems and autonomous navigation, with a focus on real-world applications in environmental monitoring, disaster response, and precision agriculture. Her most cited work, "Distributed Weighted Coverage for Multi-Robot Systems in Non-Convex Environment" (2023, 7 citations), tackles the critical challenge of coordinating ground mobile robots under practical constraints like positioning errors and limited communication, proposing a distributed algorithm that ensures effective coverage in complex terrains. Earlier, she developed a "Fuzzy Heuristic Reduction of Gyro Drift in Gyro-Based Mobile Robot Tracking" (2009, 4 citations), addressing the unbounded error growth in MEMS gyroscopes—a key hurdle for reliable robot yaw estimation. More recently, she introduced the "Smart Bi-eBikes (SBB)" (2022, 2 citations), a low-cost unmanned ground vehicle built from two electric bikes for precision agriculture, offering an accessible solution for crop pest management. Her work bridges theory and practice, demonstrating how robust algorithms and frugal hardware can expand the reach of autonomous systems. With each contribution, Di An emphasizes deployability and resilience, making her research valuable for students and engineers seeking to implement multi-robot systems in non-ideal, real-world conditions.
