He was Lecturer, Senior Lecturer and Reader in Robotics and Distributed Systems at University of Bradford from 2003. He was Lecturer in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Tongji University, Shanghai, in 1992 and promoted to Associate Professor, in 1994. From 1997, he was Professor in Department of Information and Control Engineering at Tongji University and led the research group of Intelligent Robotics and Intelligent Control. His research work mainly focuses on intelligent robotics, automation and control, wireless/distributed sensor and actuator networks, multi-agent and virtual organisation. He has been involved in twenty academic research projects funded by British, Chinese, EU and German foundations and published more than 170 research papers. In addition to academic research, he has hands-on experience on hardware and software development and has been involved in more than twenty industrial knowledge transfer projects. From 1998 to 2000, he was an Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellow at Universitaet Erlangen-Nuernberg, Germany. From 2002 to 2003, he was a senior research fellow in Computing at Glasgow Caledonian University for the IST Project DIECoM. In his career, four practical robots were developed, which include a 5DOF educational robot (received the National Scientific and Technical Achievement Award in 1989 and a Silver Medal in the 1990 Beijing International Industry Expo), a 4DOF direct-drive glass-cutting robot, a wheeled mobile robot and recently an autonomous wheelchair controlled by wireless visual sensors.
