About

Dr. Weipeng Guan is a leading researcher at the intersection of robotics, visible light positioning (VLP), and sensor fusion. His work addresses the critical challenge of high-accuracy indoor localization for mobile robots, a key enabler for industrial, domestic, and public transportation applications. Guan’s major contributions include pioneering VLP-based localization schemes that leverage existing lighting infrastructure, achieving centimeter-level accuracy (within 2 cm) as demonstrated in his early work. He has advanced the field by fusing VLP with inertial sensors, wheel odometry, and SLAM, creating robust systems like VWR-SLAM that overcome limitations such as dense LED requirements and line-of-sight constraints. His most cited paper (120 citations) on high-accuracy robot indoor localization using ROS and VLP has become a foundational reference. More recently, Guan has expanded into event-based visual-inertial odometry (VIO), introducing PL-EVIO (54 citations) to handle aggressive motion and challenging environments. With over 400 total citations across his top papers, Guan’s work is widely recognized for its practical impact, including multirobot cooperative localization and universal decoding schemes for optical camera communication. His research continues to push the boundaries of robust, real-time state estimation for autonomous systems.
