About
Carlos Santos is a leading researcher in networked control systems and multi-robot coordination, with a focus on event-based and self-triggered control strategies. His work addresses the critical challenge of reducing wireless communication loads in cyber-physical systems while maintaining control performance—a key enabler for scalable robot teams. Santos's major contributions include developing adaptive self-triggered controllers for remotely operated robots, as demonstrated in his highly cited 2014 paper (23 citations), and pioneering aperiodic formation control for nonholonomic robots (14 citations). His foundational 2011 paper on odometry and laser scanner fusion using a discrete extended Kalman filter (33 citations) established a robust relative localization system for robotic platooning, while his 2010 work on fuzzy decentralized control (17 citations) provided a solution for string-stable convoy guidance in nonlinear trajectories. Santos has also advanced event-based sensing and control for remote robot guidance (19 citations) and addressed variable channel delays in networked control (16 citations). His 2020 case study on control engineering formation (17 citations) highlights his commitment to hands-on education, demonstrating the practical application of computer-aided control system design. With over 150 total citations, Santos's research continues to shape the future of efficient, communication-aware multi-robot systems.
