About

Mingcen Gao is a leading researcher in indoor localisation and robotic perception, with a focus on developing robust positioning systems for GPS-denied environments. His most notable contribution is the rWiFiSLAM system, which leverages WiFi ranging measurements to enable simultaneous localisation and mapping (SLAM) in ambient indoor settings. This work addresses a critical challenge for mobile robots operating in complex indoor spaces where traditional GPS fails, offering a practical solution that uses existing WiFi infrastructure without requiring specialised hardware. The paper, published in 2024, has already garnered 6 citations, reflecting its timely impact on the field. Gao’s research bridges the gap between theoretical SLAM algorithms and real-world deployment, making indoor navigation more accessible for applications ranging from autonomous robots to smart building management. His work is distinguished by its emphasis on cost-effective, scalable methods that can be integrated into everyday environments. As indoor localisation continues to grow in importance for robotics, IoT, and augmented reality, Gao’s contributions position him as a key innovator in creating reliable, infrastructure-light positioning systems.
