Welcome to the Radio Navigation and Sensing (RNS) Laboratory of the Department of Aeronautical and Aviation Engineering at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Our research focuses on using radio signals (e.g., GNSS, LEO satellite signals, Wi-Fi, etc.) to achieve positioning, navigation, timing (PNT), as well as sensing in challenging environments. We develop innovative algorithms and systems leveraging 3D mapping-aided GNSS, radiolocation, signal propagation modeling, and deep learning to advance reliable localization for civil applications in urban and indoor areas. We welcome collaborations and are committed to pushing the frontiers of navigation and sensing science.

Our inter-departmental final year project group successfully complete the project exhibition and final presentation
In June 2025, Jiayi Zhou (Louise), Qing Lin Tan (Giselle), Sahat Mahmud, and Sashenka Gamage establish a team for the Inter-departmental final year project (funded by FENG), to conduct the research topic of "Intelligent UAV Systems for GNSS-Based Remote Sensing on Vegetation". Through nine months of explorations, they achieve fruitful results on using the UAV to capture GNSS observations from ground reflections to detect ground features like water, vegetation, etc.
