About

Bibhya Sharma is a prominent robotics and autonomous systems researcher whose work centers on motion planning, swarm robotics, formation control, and nonholonomic mobile robots. Over more than a decade, Sharma has made foundational contributions to solving complex navigation and control problems for multi-robot systems operating in dynamic, constrained environments. His research consistently employs Lyapunov-based mathematical frameworks to develop rigorous, provably stable controllers — a hallmark of his methodological approach. Among his most influential contributions is pioneering work on carlike robot navigation in swarm environments (44 citations), leader-follower formation control for cooperative intelligent transport systems (42 citations), and geometric approaches to tractor-trailer robot navigation (40 citations). His early work on flocking of nonholonomic vehicles (2009) and tunnel-passing formation maneuvers (2012) helped establish the theoretical foundations for multi-agent coordination in constrained spaces. More recently, Sharma has extended his expertise to three-dimensional articulated mobile manipulators and UAV swarms, demonstrating the broad applicability of his methods. With a body of work accumulating over 350 citations, his research sits at a productive intersection of control theory, autonomous robotics, and cooperative systems — offering indispensable frameworks for engineers and researchers advancing next-generation autonomous vehicles and robotic teams.
