Welcome
Welcome to the Intelligent Marine Systems Lab at the Institute of Ocean Engineering. We focus on advanced AI techniques, reinforcement learning, and robust control for intelligent autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and heterogeneous marine platforms.
Our team integrates theoretical foundations with practical deployment, collaborating closely with industry and research institutes.

Research Directions
- Multi-agent coordination and path planning for marine robots
- Data-driven modeling and hybrid learning control
- Physics-informed neural networks for ocean systems
- Resilient and adaptive fault-tolerant AUV control
