About
Cong Toai Truong is a rising expert in the field of robotic systems for renewable energy maintenance, with a primary focus on the design and control of cleaning robots for photovoltaic (PV) solar panels. His research addresses critical challenges in maintaining the efficiency of utility-scale solar plants, particularly concerning the safe and effective locomotion of heavy, tank-like robots on delicate, tilted surfaces. Truong’s major contributions include pioneering studies on the adhesive coefficient of rubber wheel crawlers on wet, inclined PV panels, and the development of a multi-suspension unit designed to mitigate harmful vibrations induced by robot movement. He has also investigated the geometric and hardness parameters of tank track grooves to optimize grip and minimize panel damage. His work extends to advanced control systems, including yaw angle determination for robots on inclined planes and position tracking control for permanent magnet steering wheels. With his most-cited paper garnering 8 citations, Truong is establishing a foundational body of work that directly supports the operational reliability and longevity of solar energy infrastructure, bridging mechanical design, material science, and control theory.
