About
Mina Mirzaei’s research lies at the intersection of nonlinear control theory, robotics, and engineering education, with a focus on advancing the practical implementation of complex control algorithms. Her major contributions center on the design and simulation of sliding mode control (SMC) and computed torque control methods for robotic manipulators, particularly the PUMA-560 platform. In her highly cited 2012 work (97 citations), she provided a comprehensive MATLAB/SIMULINK framework for implementing position sliding mode control, bridging the gap between theoretical nonlinear control and hands-on robotics education. This work has been integrated into graduate and undergraduate curricula, demonstrating her impact on both research and pedagogy. Her second most-cited paper (60 citations) addresses the design of baseline computed torque controllers for 6-DOF robot arms, tackling the critical challenge of achieving linear behavior in inherently nonlinear robotic systems. Through these contributions, Mirzaei has helped make advanced control methodologies more accessible to students and researchers, with her simulation-based approaches serving as foundational tools for those entering the fields of robotics and nonlinear control.
