| 2026 | Short Paper: The Starlink Robot: A Platform and Dataset for Mobile Satellite CommunicationabstractThe integration of satellite communication into mobile devices represents a paradigm shift in connectivity, yet the performance characteristics under motion and environmental occlusion remain poorly understood. We present the Starlink Robot, the first mobile robotic platform equipped with Starlink satellite internet, comprehensive sensor suite including upward-facing camera, LiDAR, and IMU, designed to systematically study satellite communication performance during movement. Our multi-modal dataset captures synchronized communication metrics, motion dynamics, sky visibility, and 3D environmental context across diverse scenarios including steady-state motion, variable speeds, and different occlusion conditions. This platform and dataset enable researchers to develop motion-aware communication protocols, predict connectivity disruptions, and optimize satellite communication for emerging mobile applications from smartphones to autonomous vehicles. In this work, we use LEOViz for real-time data collection and visualization. The project is available at https://starlinkrobot.github.io.

| 2026 | MobileROS: A Wireless-Native Robot Operating System for Mobile RoboticsabstractThe increasing deployment of mobile robots in dynamic outdoor environments necessitates robotic systems capable of maintaining reliability amidst fluctuating wireless connectivity. While the Robot Operating System (ROS) has established itself as the de facto standard for such networked robotics, its abstraction of communication as an opaque, besteffort utility creates a critical bottleneck: it fails to leverage physical layer (PHY) information, resulting in degraded performance and unreliable execution in fluctuating networks. To address this, this paper presents MobileROS, a wireless-native robot operating system that transforms wireless communication from an external service into a core system resource. Grounded in the Symbiotic Paradigm, MobileROS establishes a bidirectional exchange where network conditions inform robotic decisions and mission requirements guide network resource allocation. Based on service mesh principles and domain-driven design, our architecture implements a Hub-Engines-Cells (HEC) model. It features a central Hub for global optimization, three specialized engines (the Radio Information Engine, the Cross Domain Engine, and the Physical Adaptive Engine) for crosslayer intelligence, and distributed Cells as functional units. A key mechanism, Application-Driven Bidirectional Dynamic Slicing, allows robots to actively reconfigure network resources based on semantic urgency, transforming the robot from a passive observer into an active network controller. We systematically evaluate MobileROS across three cities (London, Hong Kong, and Shenzhen) in five scenarios: distributed visual SLAM, cross-domain LiDAR perception, V2X autonomous driving, hybrid multi-robot collaboration against WebRTC baselines, and partition recovery validating CAP-theorem-aware failsafe mechanisms. Results demonstrate that MobileROS maintains significantly more stable performance than standard ROS in mobile wireless deployments.We provide implementation details athttps://github.com/MobileROS.

| 2024 | Poster Abstract: LLM-Slice: Dedicated Wireless Network Slicing for Large Language ModelsabstractThe rapid adoption of large language models (LLMs) presents new challenges for existing network architectures due to significant peak traffic and high communication uncertainty. Traditional wireless networks struggle to support efficiently, leading to intolerable response delays, disconnections, and resource wastage. To address these issues, we propose LLM-Slice, the first system to provide dedicated communication slices for LLMs within a wireless network environment. By creating LLM-specific network slices, LLM-Slice efficiently binds services with communication resources. Based on user equipment (UE) requests and a permissions database, the system registers specific slices to offer controllable LLM services, integrating a downlink resource control module to optimize response speed, enhance resource utilization, and reduce disconnections. By deploying and validating in a real UE-gNB-CN environment, numerical results demonstrate that LLM-Slice significantly improves response speed and resource efficiency, providing a novel solution for fast and controllable LLM access in wireless networks.
