Binh-Minh Nguyen received the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan, in 2012 and 2015, respectively. He is currently an Assistant Professor with the Department of Advanced Energy, the University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan. His research interests include glocal control, passivity control, motion control, and their applications in electric vehicles, flying vehicles, and power systems. Dr. Nguyen was the recipient of Paper Awards in IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics 2015, IEEE Vehicular Power and Propulsion Conference 2012 and 2024, the 2021 Kurata Award from Hitachi Foundation. He is an Associate Editor of the Automotive Electronics topic of the IEEE Vehicular Technology Magazine, and an Associate Editor with the IEEE Transactions on Transportation Electrification. Since 2024, he has been a member of the Vehicle Power Propulsion Technical Committee of IEEE Vehicular Technology Society.


Abstract

The growing adoption of motor actuators has provided humanity with more powerful and flexible means of transportation—multi-motor electric vehicles (MMEVs). However, this evolution introduces significant technical and theoretical challenges in motion control. Each motor actuator must satisfy its own local control objectives while physically interacting with others to generate the global dynamics of the vehicle body. Consequently, MMEVs can be regarded as a multi-agent system characterized by multi-objective control, multi-resolution behaviors, and multi-nonlinearities. This leads to a fundamental question: How can we design and analyze MMEV control systems that ensure safety and robustness under diverse driving conditions, including uncertain road surfaces and external disturbances? Such a challenge cannot be addressed by a single researcher alone but requires strong transdisciplinary collaboration. This presentation introduces recent outcomes from collaborative research at the e-Mobility and Control Laboratory, The University of Tokyo, toward the advancement of MMEV technologies. The concepts of Driving Force Control and a global–local control framework will be presented as the core methodology and philosophy guiding our collaborative research on vehicle motion control.
