About

Juhi Ajmera is a researcher specializing in autonomous aerial robotics, with a primary focus on the control and navigation of quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Her work addresses critical challenges in the field, particularly in trajectory tracking and autonomous landing on moving platforms. In her highly cited 2015 paper, "Trajectory tracking control of a quadrotor," she introduced a novel control algorithm that combines backstepping techniques with a PD controller to enable precise trajectory following. This approach, which decomposes the quadrotor's complex dynamics into four manageable subsystems, has garnered 7 citations for its practical and effective design. Expanding on this foundation, her second most-cited work, "Autonomous visual tracking and landing of a quadrotor on a moving platform" (2015, 5 citations), tackles the demanding problem of vision-based autonomous landing on dynamic surfaces, such as a ship deck. This research integrates a sensor framework for state estimation using visual data, offering a robust solution for real-world UAV operations. Ajmera’s contributions are foundational for advancing autonomous drone capabilities in dynamic environments.
