About
Jiyong Jin is a robotics researcher whose work focuses on advancing the mobility and autonomy of mobile robots for real-world service applications. His primary research areas include holonomic omni-directional locomotion, systematic error calibration, and safe navigation in both indoor and outdoor environments. Jin’s most notable contribution is the design of the Dual Offset Active Caster Wheel, a novel mechanism that enables holonomic and omni-directional motion for indoor service robots. This design, detailed in his 2010 paper (24 citations), achieves precise positioning and reliable navigation by decoupling orthogonal velocity components, offering both durability and performance. He further advanced mobile robot reliability through his 2016 work on accurate calibration of systematic errors for car-like robots (22 citations), using experimental orientation errors to improve navigation accuracy. Jin also addressed the challenges of outdoor autonomy in his 2010 development of an autonomous patrol robot for private roads (9 citations), and tackled collision avoidance in cluttered indoor environments with a motion control strategy that accounts for motion uncertainty (6 citations). His integrated approach to mechanical design, calibration, and control has laid important groundwork for deploying mobile robots in public and private service roles.
