About me

My name is Chengpeng Hu. I am currently a master student at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech), under the supervision of Dr. Jialin Liu and Prof. Xin Yao , with an expected graduation in July 2024. I am also with Learning and Optimization in Games (LOG) Group and OPtimization And Learning (OPAL) laboratory . I received my B.E. degree in computer science and technology from Southern University of Science and Technology in 2021.

I am insterested in applying (single-/multi-agent, constrained) reinforcemnet learning and evolutionary computations for decision-making problems such as robotics, game, routing and scheduling for safety, generalisation and robutness.

My research areas include:

• Game AI
  • General video game playing: Train AI agents to play on unseen levels
  • Game for AI education
• Real-time controlling with safty guarantee (torque, collision, energy)
  • Robotic controlling via reinforcement learning
  • Multi-robot task allocation: Path finding with unlabelled targets
• Smart Logistics
  • Apply AI techinques to real world optimisation problems in logistics such as vehicle routing problem and dynamic material handling
  • Learning-based methods (reinforcement learning) for scheduling automated guided vehicles with safety constraints
