About

Elena Filatkina is a robotics researcher specializing in the control and dynamics of wheeled mobile robots, with a particular focus on trajectory tracking and motion control. Her most-cited work, "On Global Output Feedback Trajectory Tracking Control of a Wheeled Mobile Robot" (2019), addresses the challenging problem of ensuring a robot can accurately follow a desired path using only output feedback—a critical advancement for real-world applications where full state measurements are unavailable. In this paper, she develops a dynamical model incorporating the platform, castor wheel, and two rear wheels, and designs a control strategy that regulates voltage to DC motors for precise motion. While her citation count remains modest at 3, this work contributes to foundational knowledge in nonlinear control theory for nonholonomic systems. Filatkina’s research bridges theoretical control design with practical robotic implementation, offering insights for students and engineers working on autonomous navigation. Her focus on global stability and output feedback methods highlights her dedication to solving real-world constraints in mobile robotics, making her a valuable reference for those exploring robust control in underactuated systems.
