About

Minghao Liu is a robotics researcher whose work focuses on advancing autonomous navigation and precision control for mobile and underwater robotic systems. His key research areas include sliding mode control, time delay estimation, and LiDAR-based autonomous navigation in complex environments. Liu’s most notable contribution is his development of a chattering-suppression sliding mode controller for underwater manipulators, which addresses the critical challenge of achieving high-precision control without requiring accurate mathematical models. This work, published in 2023, has already garnered 19 citations, reflecting its significance in underwater robotics applications such as pipeline repairs and scientific sampling. Additionally, Liu led the development of the "Campus Guide," a LiDAR-based mobile robot capable of autonomous navigation in densely populated areas using only a 16-line LiDAR—a notable achievement given the complexity of such environments. This 2019 paper has earned 8 citations and demonstrates his ability to tackle real-world navigation challenges. Through these contributions, Liu is making impactful strides in enabling robots to operate reliably in unstructured and dynamic settings, from the deep sea to crowded campuses.
