Shuo Liu (刘硕)
I am a Ph.D. candidate at the School of Computer Science and Technology, Shandong University (SDU), Class of 2022. I am a member of the Blockchain and Distributed Security Lab, where I am privileged to be advised by Prof. Minghui Xu and Prof. Xiuzhen Cheng.
Research Interests
- Distributed Systems: Byzantine Fault-Tolerant (BFT) Consensus.
- Wireless Networking: Secure Coordination of Unmanned Swarms & Satellite Networks.
- Robotics Systems: Reliable, secure, and hardware-aware runtime support for ROS 2, physical AI, and networked robot swarms.
Current Direction
I am currently exploring the systems layer beneath ROS 2 physical AI: how learned robot policies can be executed reliably over real robots, heterogeneous hardware, and networked robot teams. I am particularly interested in hardware-aware data paths, zero-copy transport, native buffers/tensors, real-time policy execution, and the reliability/security problems that appear when physical-AI workloads leave the lab and run on swarms, wireless links, and edge devices.
My long-term goal is to connect my background in BFT consensus, wireless networking, and unmanned-swarm coordination with the emerging ROS 2 physical-AI ecosystem, building runtime support that makes robot learning systems more dependable, observable, and deployable.
