He is the winner of the 9th Wu Wenjun Artificial Intelligence Outstanding Youth Award in 2019, and the following is an interview report of Dong Qi.
What theoretical and technological breakthroughs have you made in the research results of this award?
I am mainly engaged in research on swarm intelligence unmanned systems, such as swarm behavior control of unmanned aerial vehicles, focusing on applications, but I have always attached importance to the research of swarm intelligence unmanned system theory.
In terms of theoretical exploration, I mainly focus on the autonomous collaborative control of multiple agents in the UAV cluster. The U.S. Department of Defense's UAV System Roadmap 2005-2030 divides the autonomous control levels of drones into 10 levels. Among them, the "fully autonomous cluster" is set as the highest level of autonomous control of the UAV, and my research is to solve the problem of how to make the UAV achieve fully autonomous cluster control. Recently, some innovative work has been done in the precise formation control of UAV clusters, and for the first time, the UAV cluster precision formation control algorithm based on the limited time theory is proposed, which will effectively improve the formation accuracy and reconstruction ability of the UAV cluster at the theoretical level.
In terms of engineering applications, it is mainly for the major needs of the country, based on the major projects currently being researched, and the goal is to realize the autonomy and intelligence of the UAV cluster. He has participated in the largest fixed-wing UAV swarm flight test in China, and successfully verified a number of key technologies such as aerial assembly and formation control of UAV swarms. Completed the air series delivery and modal conversion test of the first folding wing UAV in China, broke through the negative angle of attack mode conversion and control technology of the UAV, laid the leading edge in the airdrop technology of China's UAV cluster, and demonstrated the innovative achievements of the technology for the field test of the two vice chairmen of the Central Military Commission of China.
What are the current practical applications of your and your team's research results?
The research results of our team are mainly focused on the military field, and we are committed to creating the most advanced intelligent unmanned combat equipment. It is also involved in the civilian field, for example, the first batch of major projects of the Ministry of Science and Technology of the People's Republic of China "New Generation Artificial Intelligence" undertaken by us are the group intelligence stimulation and convergence research on the "bee swarm" multi-agent, "bee swarm" is a physical form of representation, can be unmanned aerial vehicles, unmanned vehicles, unmanned ships, etc., our research results will be applied to urban security, emergency rescue and other fields.
As a researcher, how do you think technology can do better in connecting with consumer demand and market demand?
Technology is our "housekeeping skill" in research.
First of all, the premise of docking with consumers and market demand is that the technology is excellent.
We scientific researchers must recognize the essence of technology, what problems this technology can solve, whether we have the ability to develop the desired technology and products, the positioning should be clear and accurate, and the docking should be realistic.
Secondly, it is still a demand-oriented problem, not only to solve the needs of the current country, but also to sit on the "cold bench".
The basic theory and common technology is the main theme of scientific research, the source of scientific and technological innovation, but also the foundation of major scientific and technological achievements, pay attention to the research of common technologies, docking can not float on the surface, general talk.
In your opinion, is there a lack of talent training in domestic artificial intelligence at present? What kind of knowledge structure do they need?
Talent has always been scarce, no matter what field. Artificial intelligence as an emerging technology, China started and developed relatively late, talent is certainly scarce, we need universities to cultivate more high-level talents in the field of artificial intelligence.
I believe that artificial intelligence is a typical "cross-specialty", which needs to be multidisciplinary and complementary, highlighting mathematics and computer science, covering information, electronics, control, etc., and applied to big data, vision, aerospace and other fields. Therefore, it is necessary to have a very broad reserve of knowledge, but to exert precise force at a certain point.
Message from the winners
Artificial intelligence, there is a lot to do, to do something, some do not! I hope that the development of artificial intelligence can benefit the entire human race and benefit the vast space of the universe!
