About
Thanh-Trung Nguyen is a robotics researcher whose work centers on solving the inverse kinematics (IK) and dynamics of robotic manipulators, with a strong emphasis on rehabilitation and industrial applications. His major contributions lie in the development and refinement of meta-heuristic optimization algorithms—particularly Differential Evolution (DE) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO)—to address the complex, nonlinear IK problems that are critical for safe and precise robot motion. Nguyen’s research is especially impactful in the field of rehabilitation robotics, where he has focused on modeling the human upper limb to enable safer, more effective robotic therapy for stroke patients. His most-cited paper (12 citations) proposes an optimization algorithm for solving IK in rehabilitation robots, while subsequent works extend these methods to 5-DOF SCARA robots and exoskeleton simulators. Notably, Nguyen has also addressed practical barriers in developing countries by designing low-cost equipment to measure human arm motion. With a total of over 50 citations across his core publications, his work bridges theoretical algorithm development and real-world robotic implementation, making significant strides toward accessible, intelligent rehabilitation technology.
