About
Baoli Ma is a robotics and control systems researcher whose work centers on mobile robot coordination, nonholonomic systems, and advanced control theory. His most significant contributions lie in the areas of multi-robot formation control, trajectory tracking, and event-triggered cooperative control — fields increasingly critical to autonomous systems and swarm robotics. Ma's most cited work (45 citations) introduced periodic event-triggered control strategies for coordinating multiple nonholonomic wheeled mobile robots, a technically demanding problem due to the inherent motion constraints of such platforms. He has further advanced formation control through virtual structure approaches, adaptive leader-following schemes, and distributed tracking algorithms for unicycle robots, collectively accumulating over 100 citations across related publications. His 2024 observer-based trajectory tracking work demonstrates continued productivity and relevance, already attracting 22 citations. Beyond mobile robotics, Ma has made notable contributions to fractional-order sliding mode control for robot manipulators and adaptive control of space robotic systems, reflecting a broad command of nonlinear control theory. His recent work on range-only circumnavigation and LIDAR-based mapless navigation underscores an expanding interest in sensor-constrained autonomy. Spanning nearly three decades, Ma's research portfolio reflects a sustained and evolving impact on intelligent robotic systems.
