About
Loc Xuan Ong is a control systems and robotics researcher whose work focuses on enhancing the autonomy and reliability of wheeled mobile robots (WMRs) under real-world uncertainties. His key research areas include adaptive control, disturbance rejection, and robust robotics, with a particular emphasis on addressing wheel slip and system disturbances—critical challenges for field robots operating on uneven or slippery terrain. His most-cited paper, "Robust adaptive controller for wheel mobile robot with disturbances and wheel slips" (2020, 10 citations), introduces an observer-based adaptive control algorithm that simultaneously handles kinematic and dynamic uncertainties, input disturbances, and wheel slip. By integrating a disturbance observer with adaptive laws, Ong’s approach enables WMRs to maintain trajectory tracking accuracy even when traction is compromised, offering a practical solution for applications in agriculture, logistics, and search-and-rescue. This work has been recognized for bridging theoretical control design with real-world implementation, providing a foundation for future studies on slip-aware mobile robot navigation. Ong’s contributions are particularly valuable for students and researchers exploring robust control in non-ideal environments, demonstrating how adaptive methods can extend the operational envelope of autonomous ground vehicles.
