About

Bach Hoang Dinh is a robotics and control systems researcher whose work bridges intelligent computing and autonomous systems. His research spans two interconnected domains: neural network-based robotic control and multi-agent coordination, with particular emphasis on developing practical, deployable solutions for real-world robotic challenges. Dinh's most significant contributions lie in applying Radial Basis Function Networks (RBFNs) to solve the notoriously complex inverse kinematics problem in robotic manipulators. Rather than relying on traditional geometric methods that require precise knowledge of a robot's physical parameters, his approach leverages neural networks to approximate these relationships dynamically, integrating vision systems for practical position control. This foundational work, introduced in 2008 and accumulating over 17 citations across related publications, opened pathways for more adaptive and geometry-independent robot control. His 2011 follow-up introduced an online training solution, further enhancing real-time adaptability. Beyond manipulation, Dinh expanded into multi-robot coordination, addressing flocking behavior through bounded feedback control. His 2016 paper, which garnered 8 citations, elegantly tackles simultaneous velocity consensus, collision avoidance, and cohesion maintenance using Lyapunov-based design methods. Together, his body of work reflects a consistent commitment to bridging theoretical control frameworks with practical robotic applications.
