About

Waheed Imran’s research focuses on the intersection of robotics, trajectory planning, and temporal control, with a particular emphasis on wheeled mobile robots operating in complex environments. His major contributions lie in developing algorithms that enable robots to compute realistic velocity profiles and navigate uneven surfaces while respecting kinematic and dynamic constraints. Imran’s work addresses the critical challenge of integrating motion planning with temporal scheduling, allowing robots to follow precise trajectories and coordinate tasks between the robot base and attached manipulators. His most cited paper, “Trajectory and temporal planning of a wheeled mobile robot on an uneven surface” (2008, 19 citations), stands as a foundational reference in the field, demonstrating practical solutions for real-world robotic navigation. He further advanced this area with a temporal planning algorithm for a 6-degree-of-freedom robotic arm mounted on a mobile platform (2010), showcasing his ability to tackle multi-body coordination problems. With cumulative citations across his key works, Imran’s research has informed subsequent studies in autonomous navigation and robotic control, making him a notable contributor to the development of more capable and adaptable mobile robotic systems.
