About

Zhiming Xiong is a leading researcher in cooperative navigation and multi-sensor fusion for unmanned systems, with a particular focus on enhancing the positioning accuracy of low-cost autonomous platforms. His most cited work, "Attitude Determination for Unmanned Cooperative Navigation Swarm Based on Multivectors in Covisibility Graph" (2023), addresses a critical challenge in swarm robotics: enabling low-accuracy navigation sensor (LAN) nodes to achieve high-precision localization by leveraging information from high-accuracy navigation sensor (HAN) nodes within the swarm. Xiong’s major contribution lies in developing a multivector-based attitude determination method that operates within a covisibility graph framework, allowing for robust data fusion without requiring direct communication between all nodes. This approach significantly reduces system costs while maintaining reliable navigation performance. With 4 citations to date, his work is gaining traction among researchers in autonomous systems and sensor networks. Xiong’s research has important implications for the deployment of large-scale unmanned swarms in GPS-denied environments, such as underground mines or disaster zones, where cost-effective and accurate navigation is essential for mission success.
