About

Dr. Van-Thanh Tran is a leading researcher in robotics and control systems, with a primary focus on the modeling and optimal control of under-actuated, nonlinear dynamical systems. His most cited work, "Modeling and Optimal Control for Two-Wheeled Self-Balancing Robot," tackles the formidable challenge of stabilizing a complex MIMO inverted pendulum system with six state variables and uncertain parameters. By developing sophisticated control strategies for this inherently unstable platform, Dr. Tran has made significant contributions to the field of mobile robotics, advancing the theoretical and practical understanding of autonomous balance and locomotion. His research addresses critical issues in nonlinear control, offering solutions that have direct applications in personal transportation, service robotics, and industrial automation. With a growing citation impact, Dr. Tran’s work is increasingly recognized as foundational for engineers and researchers developing next-generation self-balancing and agile robotic systems.
