About

Jae-Won An is a robotics researcher specializing in autonomous balance control systems, with a particular focus on underactuated robotic platforms such as bicycle and unicycle robots. His work centers on developing practical, non-model-based control strategies that enable self-balancing mechanisms in dynamically unstable systems — a challenging and highly relevant problem in modern robotics engineering. An's most recognized contribution is his 2013 paper on balancing control of a bicycle robot using PID control, which has accumulated 23 citations and demonstrates the effectiveness of reaction wheel pendulum mechanisms combined with non-model-based PID controllers, validated through rigorous experimental results. Building on this foundation, he extended his research to unicycle robotics, proposing control systems that integrate IMU sensor feedback for tilt-angle measurement to maintain dynamic equilibrium during operation. His 2014 work on unicycle robot control further refined these approaches, contributing an additional 6 citations to his growing body of work. Across his publications, An has consistently championed accessible, sensor-driven control frameworks that avoid the complexity of full system modeling, making his methods particularly practical for real-world implementation. His research provides a valuable foundation for students and engineers working on self-balancing robotic systems and autonomous vehicle stability.
