About
Dr. Wenli Cheng is a control systems researcher specializing in nonlinear dynamics, robotic manipulation, and constrained-state trajectory tracking. Her work addresses fundamental challenges in ensuring stability and precision for nonholonomic systems—mechanical systems whose motion depends on their path, such as wheeled robots and autonomous vehicles. Her most impactful contribution, "Trajectory Tracking Control Design for Nonholonomic Systems with Full-state Constraints" (2021, 20 citations), introduces a novel control framework that guarantees accurate path-following while respecting physical limits on position, velocity, and acceleration—a critical requirement for safe real-world deployment. In earlier work (2019), she developed a nonlinear disturbance observer (NDO) for two-link robotic manipulators, achieving global asymptotic stability even under external disturbances. This observer-based approach enables robots to reject unknown forces and maintain precise motion, advancing the robustness of industrial and service robotics. Dr. Cheng’s research bridges theoretical control design and practical implementation, offering engineers rigorous yet implementable solutions for autonomous systems operating in uncertain environments. Her growing citation record reflects the relevance of her methods to both academic researchers and practicing control engineers.
