We successfully developed the first generation of Tsinghua Mengshi intelligent flying car. This vehicle is the world's first pure electric rotorcraft unmanned flying vehicle with integrated intelligent driving function. We follow the core design concept "lightweight, high loadability". It is a three-dimensional intelligent transportation vehicle designed for especially tailored for low-altitude flight and urban travel. The vehicle achieves functions such as aerial flight, ground driving, land-air transition, and unmanned aerial and ground driving.

Autonomous Driving Architecture towards SCSTSV

Director: Qifan Tan, Xinyu Zhang, Jun Li, @New Technology Concept Vehicles, THU

Brief: Towards the Smart City-Smart Transportation-Smart Vehicles(SCSTSV), we focuses on the key areas of autonomous driving technology, particularly in the design and optimization of architectures for perception, decision-making, and control. Recognizing the challenges faced by autonomous driving systems, such as accurate perception of the surrounding environment, rapid and reliable decision-making, and effective vehicle control, I proposed a comprehensive architecture that integrates perception, decision-making, and control into a unified framework, further enhancing system performance through the integration of road testing equipment.

Solar-powered UAV for Long Duration Cruising

Work with Colleagues @Bingo Intelligence Co., Ltd.

Brief: This research focused on enhancing the endurance of solar-powered unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) by analyzing their aerodynamic characteristics and optimizing their aerodynamic design. A key aspect of the study involved redesigning the aerodynamic shape to improve efficiency. Additionally, I developed a dynamic power system with low vortex drag variable-pitch propellers to adapt to varying wind speeds during flight. By integrating these innovations, the UAVs can harness solar energy more effectively and sustain longer flight durations, enabling them to operate efficiently across diverse environmental conditions. This research contributes to the advancement of renewable energy-powered UAV technology, offering potential applications in various fields such as environmental monitoring, aerial photography, and telecommunications.

We honor the memory of Zhaoxi Wang, one of the founding members of our team, whose dedication and vision continue to inspire us as we move forward, and his spirit will forever remain an integral part of our journey, just like this aircraft did.

Auto-Patralling UAV Platform

Work with Colleagues @Bingo Intelligence Co., Ltd.

Brief: This project focused on the development of an autonomous inspection drone system for airports. This project encompassed the overall design of the airport system and the design and production of electromechanical controls. We prioritized the autonomous inspection functionality of the drones. Through a comprehensive approach balancing airport safety and efficiency, we devised a complete system including structural design of the drones, development of electromechanical control systems, and optimization of inspection algorithms. This system not only enables comprehensive inspection of airport facilities but also autonomously responds to and alerts to anomalies.

Oil-powered Variable-pitch Quadrotor

This is my BEng dissertation. Notably, this is the first successful flight of oil-powered rotary-wing UAV utilizing variable-pitch control in China. We finished it at the end of 2015. Work with teammates Fanjie Kong, Jingdong Ma.

Brief: I participated a groundbreaking project focused on the development of a oil-powered variable-pitch multirotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). This project involved the comprehensive design and prototyping testing of the UAV. Our efforts encompassed the integration of advanced variable-pitch technology with traditional oil-powered UAV systems, leading to a novel and efficient aerial platform. We use gears and belts as the power transmission method, where belts can effectively reduce the vibrations generated by the engine. The successful flight testing signifies a significant milestone in the domestic UAV industry, showcasing the feasibility and potential of variable-pitch control in enhancing the performance and versatility of oil-powered UAVs.
