About
Ioan Marica is a robotics researcher whose work focuses on the design and control of omnidirectional mobile robots, particularly those employing three omni-wheel configurations. His key research areas include path tracking, adaptive control systems, and encoder-based odometry for mobile robotics. Marica’s major contribution lies in developing an encoder-based path tracking system with adaptive cascaded control, which enables precise trajectory following for three omni-wheel robots while relying on low-cost sensing elements like encoders rather than expensive external sensors. This work, published in 2017, has garnered 3 citations and addresses a critical challenge in mobile robotics: achieving high manoeuvrability with limited or cost-effective sensing hardware. By demonstrating that accurate control can be maintained using only internal odometry, Marica’s research offers practical solutions for affordable robotic platforms, making advanced mobility accessible for educational and industrial applications. His contributions are particularly valuable for researchers and students working on autonomous navigation and control systems for wheeled robots.
