About

Ronald Ping Man Chan is a robotics researcher whose work centers on the dynamics, modelling, and control of two-wheeled mobile robots—a class of vehicles that includes self-balancing scooters and agile field robots. His most influential contribution, the comprehensive "Review of modelling and control of two-wheeled robots" (2013), has garnered 227 citations, establishing itself as a foundational reference for engineers and academics working on balance and locomotion in constrained environments. In this review, Chan systematically synthesizes control strategies—ranging from PID to advanced nonlinear methods—and highlights the unique challenges of maintaining stability under real-world conditions. He further extends this expertise in his study "Effect of Limiting Wheel Slip on Two-Wheeled Robots in Low Traction Environments" (2012), where he investigates how traction loss impacts control performance, offering practical insights for deployment on slippery or uneven terrain. Through these works, Chan has helped bridge theoretical control design with practical robotic mobility, making his research essential reading for anyone developing two-wheeled platforms for service, exploration, or personal transport.
