About

Thi-Ai-Van Nguyen is an emerging researcher specializing in mobile robotics and control systems engineering, with a particular focus on unicycle-type robots and advanced linear control methodologies. Her work addresses one of robotics' most compelling challenges: achieving dynamic stability in inherently unstable single-wheeled systems, a problem with direct relevance to the growing consumer market for products such as electric unicycles and one-wheel scooters. Nguyen's most recognized contribution, "A Survey of Linear Control for Unicycle Robot" (2024), has garnered 3 citations and provides a comprehensive overview of control strategies — including PID and Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) approaches — applied to unicycle-type mobile robots, offering a valuable reference framework for researchers entering this domain. Complementing this, her paper "A Method of LQR Using Velocity Control for Unicycle Robot" (2024) demonstrates a practical implementation of LQR control to stabilize these mechanically challenging platforms, highlighting the advantages of single-wheeled designs over statically stable multi-wheeled alternatives. Though early in her career, Nguyen's focused contributions signal a promising trajectory in robotics control theory. Her work equips both academic researchers and engineers with foundational insights for developing the next generation of agile, efficient mobile robotic systems.
