About

Jan Kordas is a robotics researcher whose work centers on real-time motion planning, control, and coordination for mobile robotic systems. His most significant contribution is the development of path planning and tracking algorithms using cubic Hermite splines, enabling smooth, computationally efficient trajectories for wheeled robots operating under real-time constraints. This foundational work, detailed in his 2010 paper with 11 citations, integrates discrete extended Kalman filtering for state estimation and prediction, directly addressing the challenges of sensor noise and dynamic environments. Kordas has also advanced wireless control architectures for mobile embedded devices, notably implementing the nRF24L01 transceiver for reliable robot communication. His research extends to multi-robot systems, where he contributed to the design of the third-generation strategy system for the VSB-TU Ostrava robot-soccer team, incorporating modern technologies for cooperative control. With a focus on bridging theoretical spline-based planning with practical, real-time deployment, Kordas’s work has provided essential tools for autonomous navigation and multi-agent coordination, making him a notable figure in applied mobile robotics.
