Wheeled Mobile Robot Control

lt;p>Nardênio Almeida Martins has completed M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from the Federal University of Santa Catarina (1997) and Ph.D. in Automation and Systems Engineering from the Federal University of Santa Catarina (2010). He is currently an associate professor in the Department of Informatics and the Graduate Program in Computer Science at the State University of Maringá and a member of the research groups "Robotics" of the Department of Automation and Systems of the Federal University of Santa Catarina-Florianópolis Campus and the "Automation of Systems and Robotics Group" at the State University of Santa Catarina-Joinville Campus, working mainly on the following research topics in robotics: robot manipulators, joint space, operational space, wheeled mobile robots, trajectory tracking, adaptive control, robust control theory, neural networks, fuzzy logic, and Lyapunov stability theory.
