About
Thein Than Tun is a robotics researcher whose work centers on reconfigurable and autonomous systems for real-world service applications, with a particular focus on cleaning, inspection, and environmental monitoring. His major contributions lie in the design, modeling, and energy-optimized control of robots that can adapt their shape and locomotion to achieve complete area coverage. For instance, his most-cited work (40 citations) tackles energy-aware path planning for self-reconfigurable floor cleaning robots, while his research on glass facade cleaning robots (33 and 23 citations) introduces novel nested reconfigurable mechanisms and passive suction cup drives to automate hazardous high-rise maintenance. Tun has also extended his expertise to underwater robotics, developing energy-optimal model predictive control for unmanned underwater vehicles used in offshore aquaculture net-pen inspection. His work consistently bridges mechanical design with intelligent control, addressing practical challenges like rodent monitoring in false ceilings and false-ceiling inspection. With over 170 cumulative citations across his top papers, Tun’s research demonstrates a clear trajectory from foundational reconfigurable robotics to applied autonomous systems that improve safety and efficiency in built and aquatic environments.
