About
S. Dormido is a prominent researcher whose work sits at the intersection of mobile robotics, control engineering education, and intelligent multi-agent systems. Over more than a decade of prolific scholarship, Dormido has made substantial contributions to the development of virtual and remote laboratory platforms that bridge the gap between theoretical control concepts and real-world experimentation. His landmark 2013 papers on remote and virtual robotic laboratories — garnering 98 and 85 citations respectively — demonstrated innovative uses of Easy Java Simulations, MATLAB, and LabVIEW to make hands-on robotics education more accessible to engineering students worldwide. Beyond educational technology, Dormido has advanced the algorithmic foundations of mobile robotics itself, contributing novel control strategies for nonholonomic robot stabilization and pioneering fractional-order proportional–integral controllers for distributed multi-agent formation control. His 2021 work on fractional-order control protocols highlights his engagement with cutting-edge mathematical frameworks applied to cooperative robotics. Additional contributions include simulation tools for motion planning, event-based wireless communication architectures, and the widely adopted Khepera IV library for the V-REP simulator. With over 460 cumulative citations across these works, Dormido's research has meaningfully shaped how engineers both teach and practice autonomous mobile robotics.
