About

Ashish Mohan’s research lies at the intersection of robotic dynamics, simulation, and multibody systems, with a particular focus on the modeling and control of serial robots and aerial vehicles. His major contributions include the development of recursive, numerically stable simulation algorithms for serial robots—first for rigid links (2007, 42 citations) and later extended to flexible links (2008, 27 citations)—which have become foundational tools for efficient and accurate robotic simulation. Mohan also advanced the understanding of damping in robotic systems through a cohesive modeling technique that integrates theoretical and experimental approaches (2010, 11 citations), bridging a critical gap in rigid-flexible robot dynamics. His more recent work includes simulation and stabilization of custom quadcopters using Gazebo, ArduPilot, and QGroundControl (2022, 8 citations), showcasing his versatility in applying dynamic principles to unmanned aerial systems. Additionally, his book *Dynamics of Rigid-Flexible Robots and Multibody Systems* (2021, 6 citations) and work on the Decoupled Natural Orthogonal Complement (DeNOC) formulation (2021, 2 citations) further cement his expertise in multibody dynamics. With over 96 citations across his key works, Mohan’s research continues to influence both theoretical and applied robotics, offering robust tools for engineers and researchers tackling complex robotic systems.
