About
Yueh-Chen Lin is a researcher specializing in mobile robot navigation and path planning, with a particular focus on three-dimensional terrain environments. Her primary contributions lie in developing novel approaches that leverage differential geometry and geodesic theory to solve complex navigation challenges. In her most cited work, "Path Planning and Replanning for Mobile Robot Navigation on 3D Terrain: An Approach Based on Geodesic" (2016, 8 citations), Lin introduced a sophisticated method that models terrain as a smooth, complete manifold with well-defined tangent planes, while representing hazardous regions as enclosing circles with hazard-grade tuned radii. Her earlier foundational paper, "3D path planning based on nonlinear geodesic equation" (2014, 4 citations), established the concept of computing shortest paths for mobile robots—including mobile platforms and wheelchairs—traversing parametrized regular surfaces. By moving beyond conventional 2D planning methods, Lin's work addresses the critical gap in autonomous navigation for uneven, real-world environments. Her geodesic-based approach offers elegant mathematical solutions for both initial path planning and dynamic replanning, making her research valuable for applications in field robotics, autonomous vehicles, and assistive mobility technologies.
