About
Tianyi Tong is a robotics researcher whose work centers on the control and dynamics of underactuated mobile systems, with a particular focus on two-wheeled robots operating under real-world constraints. His most cited paper, "Experiment and controller design for two-wheeled robot with nonlinear damping and road disturbance" (2018, 4 citations), addresses the critical challenge of maintaining stable path tracking when a robot encounters unknown, velocity-dependent road disturbances. By developing a practical kinematics and dynamics model that incorporates nonlinear damping forces, Tong provides a robust controller design that bridges the gap between theoretical control and experimental validation. This contribution is especially valuable for applications in personal mobility, warehouse logistics, and service robotics, where unpredictable terrain is the norm. While his citation count is still growing, Tong’s work stands out for its hands-on, experimental approach to a notoriously difficult control problem—stabilizing an inherently unstable system under real-world friction and disturbance. His research offers a clear, applied pathway for engineers looking to deploy two-wheeled robots outside of idealized lab conditions.
