About
Puyan Mojabi is a robotics researcher best known for pioneering work in novel omnidirectional and spherical locomotion systems. His most influential contribution is the introduction of "Glory," a groundbreaking spherical rolling robot that can autonomously move in any direction without turning, described in his 2004 paper (77 citations). This work established a new paradigm for omnidirectional mobility, enabling robots to roll directly toward a target from any starting orientation—a key advance for applications in surveillance, exploration, and dynamic environments. Mojabi also explored alternative designs, such as the tri-wheel spiral robot "Climax" (2005), demonstrating his sustained interest in unconventional, agile robotic platforms. His research sits at the intersection of mechanical design, control systems, and autonomous navigation, offering elegant solutions to the challenge of holonomic movement. Though his publication record is focused, the impact of his spherical robot concept is evident in its continued citation by researchers developing rolling and reconfigurable robots. Mojabi’s work remains a touchstone for engineers seeking simple, robust, and highly maneuverable robotic architectures.
