About
Po-chih Chen is a robotics researcher whose work centers on the dynamics and control of wheeled mobile robots, with a particular focus on the complex interactions between robot motion and surface friction. His most cited paper, "3D Dynamical Analysis for a Caster Wheeled Mobile Robot Moving on the Frictional Surface" (2006), makes a foundational contribution by deriving the full three-dimensional equations of motion for a caster wheeled mobile robot. In this work, Chen treats the robot body and its three wheels as four distinct rigid bodies, enabling a more accurate and comprehensive model of the system's behavior on horizontal flat surfaces. While his citation count is modest, this paper represents a rigorous analytical approach to understanding the nuanced dynamics that govern mobile robot locomotion—a critical step for improving robot stability, control, and real-world performance. Chen's research is particularly valuable for students and engineers working on non-holonomic robotic systems, as it bridges theoretical mechanics with practical robotic design challenges.
