About

Yuqing Bao is a robotics researcher whose work centers on the dynamics and control of underactuated mobile systems. In their most cited paper, "Dynamics and motion control of an underactuated two-wheeled mobile robot" (2012, 5 citations), Bao tackles the challenge of stabilizing and maneuvering a two-wheeled mobile robot (2WMR) that relies on just two independent wheel motors to control both its motion and the balance of its mounted intermediate body. Using Lagrange Equations to derive the robot’s mathematical model, Bao’s contribution lies in providing a rigorous framework for understanding the complex coupling between actuated wheels and the unactuated body dynamics. This foundational work has implications for the design of agile, self-balancing robots used in personal transport and service applications. While early in their citation impact, Bao’s research offers a clear, analytical approach to a classic nonlinear control problem, making it a valuable reference for students and engineers exploring underactuated robotics.
