About

Sin-Hwa Su’s research centers on nonlinear control systems, with a particular focus on advanced motion control for mobile robotics. Her most-cited work, a 2009 paper on backstepping control for omni-directional mobile robots, demonstrates her expertise in synthesizing complex nonlinear controllers using sum of squares (SOS) techniques. In this study, she applied strict-feedback system characteristics to design a robust backstepping controller for a three-wheeled omni-directional platform, addressing challenges in trajectory tracking and system stability. While her citation count (8 for this paper) reflects a focused, niche contribution, the work stands out for its rigorous theoretical foundation and practical relevance to autonomous navigation. Su’s approach bridges control theory and real-world robotics, offering a systematic method for handling the nonlinear dynamics inherent in omni-directional platforms. Her contributions are particularly valuable for researchers exploring SOS-based control design, as she demonstrates how to leverage polynomial optimization to achieve stable, high-performance motion in constrained environments. Though her publication record is compact, Su’s work exemplifies how targeted, mathematically precise solutions can advance specialized areas in robotics and control engineering.
