About
A. Elango is a robotics researcher specializing in the kinematics, design, and control of omnidirectional mobile robots. His work focuses on enabling robots to move with maximum agility—translating, rotating, and navigating complex terrains without conventional steering. Elango’s most cited paper (12 citations) provides a detailed analysis of front-and-back movement for a triangle-structured, three-wheeled omnidirectional robot, specifically examining how varying the angles between two selected wheels affects motion. He extends this work by comparing square, triangular, and octagonal assembly structures for single-roller omni-wheeled robots, offering foundational insights into how chassis geometry influences maneuverability. Additionally, his review on wheel slip and odometry error (2 citations) addresses a critical challenge in real-world robotics: maintaining accurate positioning on uneven, slippery, or irregular surfaces. While his citation counts are modest, Elango’s contributions are valuable for researchers and engineers developing agile, low-cost mobile platforms for inspection, service, and exploration. His systematic exploration of wheel configurations and movement patterns provides practical design guidance for building more reliable and versatile omnidirectional robots.
