About

Ahmad Al-Jarrah is a robotics and control systems researcher whose work centers on the challenging domain of unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) and autonomous mobile robotics. His research focuses particularly on the motion control and trajectory tracking of skid-steered tracked mobile robots — systems notorious for their complex track-terrain interactions and slippage dynamics that make precise modeling and control exceptionally difficult. Al-Jarrah has made notable contributions by developing and comparing advanced control schemes to address these complexities. His 2019 paper on controlling skid-steered tracked robots under slippage conditions has garnered 9 citations, establishing him as a contributor to a problem that continues to challenge specialists worldwide. Building on this foundation, his 2021 work introduced innovative energy-based Variable Structure Control (VSC) frameworks, employing dual independent Sliding Control Surfaces to improve trajectory tracking and motion planning in UGVs, accumulating 8 citations. Together, his publications reflect a focused research agenda aimed at making autonomous ground vehicles more reliable and controllable in real-world conditions. His work will be of particular interest to students and engineers working at the intersection of robotics, nonlinear control theory, and autonomous systems engineering.
