About
Pang-Wei Yen is a robotics researcher whose work centers on novel mechanical design and control systems for unconventional robotic locomotion. His primary research areas include spherical robotics, gyroscopic dynamics, and energy-efficient mechanical systems. Yen’s major contribution is the development of a three-dimensional flywheel robotic system, which replaces traditional multi-wheeled, complex steering mechanisms with a gimbal-based gyroscopic structure. This innovative design reduces robot weight and improves energy transmission efficiency, addressing key limitations in conventional mobile robots. While his most-cited paper, “Development Of A Three-Dimensional-Flywheel Robotic System” (2015), has garnered 2 citations, it represents a foundational step in exploring alternative locomotion paradigms. Yen’s work is notable for its creative integration of gyro dynamics into robotic architecture, offering a promising path toward simpler, more efficient spherical robots. His research appeals to engineers and students interested in minimalistic design, mechanical innovation, and the practical application of classical physics principles in modern robotics.
