About

Jamilu Umar Yahaya is a forward-thinking researcher at the intersection of robotics, control systems, and human-robot interaction. His work primarily focuses on ensuring the stability and security of robotic systems under adversarial conditions, as well as enhancing the emotional intelligence of machines. In his highly cited 2024 paper on "Event-Triggered based Control of Robotic Arm Under Denial of Service," Yahaya introduced a novel method for achieving finite-time stability in robotic arms when communication links are compromised by cyberattacks—a critical contribution to the field of secure robotics. His foundational work on state estimation for pick-and-place robotic arms (2021) provides robust models essential for modern sensor-limited systems, while his 2025 exploration of emotional interaction between humans and robots proposes a Markov Decision Process model for socially assistive robots, aiming to improve user well-being and task compliance. With over 16 citations across his key publications, Yahaya’s research bridges robust control theory, cybersecurity, and affective computing, positioning him as a rising scholar dedicated to making robots both safer and more empathetic in real-world applications.
