About

Edson De Pieri is a robotics researcher whose work bridges classical kinematics and advanced control theory. His primary research areas include robot manipulator kinematics, mobile robot trajectory tracking, and underwater vehicle-manipulator systems. De Pieri’s most notable contribution is his comparative study of Denavit-Hartenberg conventions versus dual quaternion approaches for robot kinematics, a paper that has accumulated 26 citations and serves as a key reference for researchers seeking efficient kinematic modeling methods. He has also made significant strides in control systems, particularly through the application of first and second-order sliding modes for wheeled mobile robot trajectory tracking, demonstrating robust solutions to nonlinear control challenges. His work extends to complex systems like underwater vehicle-manipulator systems, where he employs Clifford algebras and the Davies method to optimize trajectory tracking. De Pieri’s research is characterized by its practical focus on improving robotic precision and stability in dynamic environments, making his findings valuable for both industrial automation and autonomous systems development. His publications, though modest in citation count, reflect a dedicated exploration of foundational robotics problems with real-world implications.
