About
Marcus Davi do Nascimento Forte is a robotics researcher whose work centers on the trajectory tracking control of nonholonomic mobile robots, with a particular focus on differential drive systems. His most influential contribution, "Trajectory tracking control of a nonholonomic mobile robot with differential drive" (2016), has garnered 21 citations and presents a cascaded control architecture combining internal PID wheel-speed regulation with an external loop for precise position and orientation control. Forte further advanced the field with his 2016 study on using LiDAR sensors for posture estimation in mobile robot navigation, a paper cited 13 times that critically compares laser-based localization against traditional odometry methods. This comparative analysis is particularly valuable for researchers working on autonomous navigation in environments where wheel slippage compromises encoder accuracy. Forte’s work bridges practical control theory with sensor integration, offering robust solutions for real-world mobile robotics applications. His research is essential reading for students and engineers developing autonomous ground vehicles, providing foundational insights into the trade-offs between sensor modalities and control strategies for achieving reliable trajectory tracking.
