Mike Qin

I am a master student working with Dr. Nancy M. Amato on multi-robot motion planning. I joined the lab as an REU (Research Experience for Undergraduate) student in summer 2021 where I worked closely with Irving Solis on developing a hybrid approach that combines the advantages of coupled and decoupled approaches for solving the multi-robot motion planning problem.

My current work focuses on developing trajectory optimization techniques that can be applied in a multi-robot system. As a research assistant in the lab, I also contributed to developing our C++ open-source task and motion planning library, PPL (Parasol Planning Library).

Previously, I worked as a student intern at CyberGIS Center where my work involves visualization of geographic data and data/big data processing.
