About

Haitian Xu is a researcher focused on advancing autonomous navigation and control systems, with particular expertise in path tracking for automatic guided vehicles (AGVs) and mobile robotics. His most cited work, "Model predictive control-based path tracking control for automatic guided vehicles" (2020, 14 citations), introduces a novel MPC-based approach that significantly improves AGV path tracking accuracy. By integrating this control method with the Robot Operating System (ROS), Xu demonstrated how to establish collision-free paths in complex environments, bridging theoretical control algorithms with practical robotic applications. This contribution is especially valuable for industries relying on automated material handling and logistics. Beyond this flagship study, Xu's research portfolio encompasses intelligent vehicle dynamics, real-time obstacle avoidance, and optimization of robotic motion planning. His work has been recognized for its practical impact on autonomous ground vehicles, offering scalable solutions for warehouse automation and smart manufacturing. With a growing citation record, Xu continues to influence the fields of model predictive control and mobile robotics, providing foundational methods that enable safer, more efficient autonomous navigation.
