About
J.J. Flores-Godoy is a Mexican robotics and control systems researcher whose work has made meaningful contributions to the fields of multi-robot coordination, formation control, and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) navigation. Affiliated with Universidad Iberoamericana in Mexico City and supported by CONACyT, Flores-Godoy has built a distinguished research portfolio centered on enabling groups of autonomous robots to organize, navigate, and cooperate intelligently in complex environments. His most influential contribution, "Distance-based Formation Control Using Angular Information Between Robots" (2015, 40 citations), established foundational techniques for coordinating robot formations using local sensing rather than global positioning — a practically significant advancement for real-world deployments. His widely cited quadcopter trajectory tracking work (2015, 34 citations) introduced an elegant two-level optimal control strategy for UAVs, demonstrating his versatility across ground and aerial robotic platforms. Flores-Godoy has consistently refined and extended leader-follower and formation graph frameworks, addressing challenges in 3D space, discrete-time systems, mixed robot kinematics, and adaptive control. With over 140 cumulative citations across a decade of research, his work provides students and engineers with rigorous, practically grounded tools for designing the next generation of autonomous multi-robot systems.
