I am a second-year PhD student from the School of Vehicle and Mobility at Tsinghua University, under the guidance of Prof. Sifa Zheng. Prior to this, I graduated from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (NUAA) with a bachelor degree.

My current research interests lie in the learning-based planning and adversarial testing for autonomous driving. Previously, my research focused on the multi-modality perception. My ultimate goal is to leverage AI to empower autonomous driving, enabling the creation of safer and more reliable self-driving systems.

FREA: Feasibility-Guided Generation of Safety-Critical Scenarios with Reasonable Adversariality

Keyu Chen, Yuheng Lei, Hao Cheng, Haoran Wu, Wenchao Sun, Sifa Zheng

The 8th Conference on Robot Learning (CoRL 2024)

FREA incorporates feasibility as guidance to generate adversarial yet AV-feasible, safety-critical scenarios for autonomous driving.

IGT: Illumination-guided RGB-T object detection with transformers

Keyu Chen, Jinqiang Liu, Han Zhang

Knowledge-Based Systems (KBS 2023)

IGT uses illumination intensity to guide the fusion process of multi-modality features, enabling the comprehensive utilization of cross-modality complementary information in object detection.

🚀 Project

Highway-Adversarial

We manipulate critical background vehicles in the Highway-Env to exhibit adversarial behaviors that challenge the ego vehicle, creating safety-critical scenarios.
