About
Tran-Minh-Nguyet Nguyen is a control engineer specializing in the swing-up and stabilization of underactuated mechanical systems (UMSs)—a class of systems with fewer actuators than degrees of freedom, which pose fundamental challenges in nonlinear control. Their most-cited work introduces a novel hybrid approach that fuses sliding mode control (SMC) with an energy-based method (EBM) to achieve the swing-up of a rotary inverted pendulum. By leveraging SMC’s robustness to disturbances and EBM’s ability to shape system energy, Nguyen’s method effectively drives the pendulum from a hanging position to its unstable upright equilibrium—a classic benchmark problem in control theory. This contribution, published in 2023 with 4 citations, demonstrates a practical, computationally efficient solution for real-world applications such as robotics and aerospace systems. Nguyen’s research advances the field by offering a systematic framework for controlling complex nonlinear dynamics, providing a foundation for future work in autonomous systems and mechatronics. Their work is particularly valuable for students and researchers seeking to understand the interplay between robust control and energy shaping in underactuated systems.
