About

Min-Hong Han is a pioneering figure in mobile robotics, whose foundational work in vision-based navigation has shaped the field. His most-cited paper, "Navigation control for a mobile robot" (1994), introduced a novel method that uses a single camera and a guide mark to direct a robot’s movement. By allowing a travel path to be drawn on a monitor screen, Han’s system leverages the image of the guide mark to provide real-time data on the robot’s position and heading—a simple yet powerful approach that has garnered 13 citations and influenced subsequent research in autonomous navigation. This early contribution demonstrates Han’s focus on practical, sensor-driven control systems, blending computer vision with robotics to enhance machine autonomy. His work remains a touchstone for students and researchers exploring low-cost, efficient navigation solutions, highlighting how minimal hardware can achieve robust performance. Han’s legacy lies in bridging theoretical control algorithms with real-world application, inspiring a generation of roboticists to rethink how machines perceive and move through their environments.
