About

Dr. Woo Peng-Yung is a distinguished researcher in robotics and autonomous systems, with a primary focus on motion planning, control theory, and mobile robot dynamics. His most cited work, "Optimal motion planning for a wheeled mobile robot" (2003, 25 citations), represents a significant contribution to the field by addressing the time-optimal motion planning problem for two-degree-of-freedom wheeled mobile robots (WMRs) under both kinematic and dynamic constraints. In this seminal paper, Dr. Woo derived the dynamic model of a WMR using the Newton-Euler method and rigorously analyzed its constraints, including nonholonomic limitations and structural restrictions. This work has provided foundational insights for researchers working on autonomous navigation and trajectory optimization. While his citation impact is modest, his contributions are highly regarded for their technical depth and practical relevance to robotics. Dr. Woo’s research continues to influence the development of efficient, constraint-aware motion planning algorithms for mobile robots in real-world environments.
