About
Mostafa Nikpour is a robotics researcher whose work centers on the stability and control of two-wheeled robotic wheelchairs (TWRWs) and mobile inverted pendulums (MIPs). His major contribution lies in developing novel active stability control systems that address the fundamental challenge of these inherently unstable platforms, which offer superior maneuverability compared to conventional four-wheeled designs. Nikpour’s approach is distinguished by the use of a movable mechanism—rather than traditional torque-based controllers—to maintain balance and directional control, a concept he has refined across multiple studies. His most cited work, a 2020 paper on stability and direction control for TWRWs (20 citations), established a foundation for safer, more agile mobility aids. Subsequent papers, including a 2023 experimental evaluation, have validated these systems in practice, demonstrating their potential to transform assistive robotics. With a cumulative citation count of 30, Nikpour’s research is steadily gaining recognition for its practical impact on improving mobility and quality of life for wheelchair users.
