About

Tiong Yih Han is a robotics researcher whose work centers on the design and control of agile, non-holonomic mobile platforms, with a particular focus on ballbot systems. His most cited contribution, "Development of omnidirectional self-balancing robot" (2014, 21 citations), addresses the unique challenges of creating a robot that balances on a single spherical wheel. This work explores the core dynamics and control strategies necessary for a ballbot to achieve omnidirectional motion and stability, a feat that offers superior agility and a minimal footprint compared to traditional wheeled robots. By tackling the inherent instability of a single-point contact system, Han's research lays foundational groundwork for more compact and maneuverable robots, which have potential applications in crowded human environments. His contributions are notable for advancing the practical realization of this special class of balancing robots, demonstrating how they can navigate tight spaces with a high degree of dexterity. This work positions him as a key figure in the ongoing development of next-generation, highly mobile robotic platforms.
