About

Katherine Sutyrkina is a robotics control researcher whose work focuses on the motion control and trajectory tracking of wheeled mobile robots and robotic manipulators. Her research addresses fundamental challenges in industrial automation, particularly developing controllers that enable precise movement without requiring full state measurements. In her most cited work, she proposed a motion stabilization control system for omni-directional mobile robots with four wheels, addressing the increasing demands for sophisticated motion control in industrial settings. Her 2019 paper tackled the global trajectory tracking problem for wheeled mobile robots using only output feedback, eliminating the need for velocity measurements. She has also contributed to the control of robot manipulators with revolute joints, developing a controller that combines feedforward terms with linear dynamic compensation and nonlinear proportional-like terms to achieve tracking using only position measurements. While her citation counts are currently modest, her work represents foundational contributions to practical robot control systems that can operate with limited sensor information, a crucial consideration for real-world deployment in manufacturing and service robotics applications.
