2019年05月31日下午，香港中文大學、新加坡國立大學Ben M. Chen教授應邀在将軍路校區伟德 官网1号樓403會議室做題為“Task and Motion Planning for Autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicles”的學術報告。報告由南京航空航天大學副校長兼伟德 官网院長姜斌教授主持，伟德 官网部分師生參加了報告會。
陳教授此次報告的主要内容包括：無人機的發展現狀、主要應用、跟蹤控制以及避障控制等。随着無人機技術的發展，它的應用已遍及火災救援、建築檢測、有害物質标本采集等領域。另外，無人機群表演以其視覺震撼也給無人機帶來了很大的市場。
陳教授及其團隊做了很多無人機的應用工作，陳教授在報告中展示了多個他主導的無人機應用的視頻，包括：無人機查找火源并找到水源取水滅火，無人機群隊形變換表演，橋梁檢測，水空兩用無人機，還有利用路徑規劃和跟蹤控制技術實現的無人機寫毛筆字的創意等。陳教授的。陳教授的報告開闊了我們的視野并讓我們認識到創新的重要性，激發師生們去發現和實現無人機的更多應用。
最後，陳教授與到場的師生進行了交流互動，耐心解答了師生們所提出的學術問題并與到會師生代表合影。
