About

Run Pei is a robotics and control systems researcher whose work centers on mobile robot control, multi-robot coordination, and robust control theory. He has made significant contributions to the field of nonholonomic wheeled mobile robots (WMRs), particularly in developing control strategies that account for real-world challenges such as parameter uncertainty, external disturbances, and actuator constraints. His most cited work (2005, 10 citations) introduced an H∞ tracking scheme using Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) optimization to address these challenges in constrained WMRs—a practically valuable advancement for deploying robots in unpredictable environments. Building on this foundation, Pei extended his research to multi-robot systems, proposing robust formation control strategies with obstacle avoidance capabilities (2007, 8 citations) and distributed control architectures using moving horizon strategies (2006). His comprehensive review of formation control methods (2007, 7 citations) further demonstrates his breadth of knowledge and has served as a useful reference for researchers entering the field. Earlier work combining sliding mode variable structure control with nonlinear predictive controllers reflects the foundational versatility underpinning his career. While his citation counts remain modest, his focused contributions to robust multi-robot coordination offer meaningful insights for researchers working on autonomous mobile systems.
