About

Phuc-Phan Duong is a robotics researcher whose work centers on autonomous mobile robot navigation, sensor-based perception, and internet-based robotic control systems. His major contributions include the development of a novel platform for internet-based mobile robots using 3G networks and client-server architecture, enabling remote operation and real-time data exchange. He also proposed the innovative 3D-to-2D Image Pressure and Barriers Detection (IPaBD) algorithm for indoor obstacle avoidance and map creation using laser range finders. Duong advanced state estimation and stabilization control for differential mobile robots by integrating Extended Kalman Filters with Lyapunov functions, improving navigation accuracy from arbitrary starting poses. His most cited work, "A novel platform for internet-based mobile robot systems" (15 citations), and "Development of an EKF-based localization algorithm using compass sensor and LRF" (14 citations) demonstrate significant impact in mobile robotics. Additionally, he explored the use of Real-time Transport Protocol for robot control over the internet, offering an alternative to traditional TCP/UDP communication. Duong’s research provides practical frameworks for autonomous navigation and remote robot operation, contributing to the fields of robotics, control systems, and human-robot interaction.
