About SOMLab

Lab Introduction

The Southeast University Unmanned Systems Self-Organizing Control and Learning Laboratory (SOMLab) was jointly established in January 2025 by Professor Yu Wenwu, Professor Simone Baldi, and Professor Liu Di.

The laboratory focuses on international frontier interdisciplinary fields such as intelligent system control and optimization, and artificial intelligence integration mechanisms. We concentrate on the research of "theoretical breakthrough → technical innovation → scenario implementation", dedicated to achieving independent innovation and deep application of key technologies in national strategic directions such as unmanned systems, intelligent connected vehicles, and smart energy.

Research Strength

SOMLab has accumulated solid theoretical foundation and rich engineering experience in intelligent algorithm design, software platform development, semi-physical simulation, and physical verification. We have built a full-process research system covering "model → algorithm → simulation → implementation", effectively supporting the entire process from core mechanism research to system-level implementation.

International Cooperation

The laboratory attaches great importance to international collaboration and open cooperation. We have established stable cooperation networks with world-class universities including MIT, Carnegie Mellon University, Oxford University, Cambridge University, ETH Zurich, National University of Singapore, Technical University of Munich, and Delft University of Technology, forming a high-level academic ecosystem covering Europe, America, Asia, and Australia.

Talent Development

In terms of talent development, SOMLab adheres to the concept of "people-oriented, tailored teaching" and actively explores talent growth paths of "international vision + one-on-one guidance + interdisciplinary integration". We encourage students to develop collaboratively and comprehensively in theoretical research and engineering practice.

The laboratory also carries out industry-academia-research joint projects with globally renowned enterprises such as Huawei, China Shipbuilding Group, Honeywell International, and Germany's E.ON Group. We provide members with diverse international exchange and overseas visiting opportunities, helping young talents expand their global perspective and enhance comprehensive qualities.

Join Us

We sincerely welcome young scholars with high aspirations, enthusiasm for theoretical innovation and engineering practice to join SOMLab. Share laboratory resources and global academic networks, realize research ideals through interdisciplinary integration and open collaboration, and jointly create the future path.
