About

Dr. Larissa Labakhua is a robotics researcher whose work centers on the kinematics and control of mobile robotic systems, with a particular focus on non-holonomic platforms and specialized wheel designs. Her most-cited contribution, the 2017 paper "Control of a mobile robot with Swedish wheels," addresses the complex challenge of motion control for robot-manipulators equipped with omni-directional Swedish wheels. In this work, Dr. Labakhua derived differential equations for robot motion that explicitly account for wheel slipping—a critical factor often overlooked in idealized models. By constructing a robust mathematical model for movement control under varying conditions, she provided a foundation for more reliable and precise maneuvering in real-world environments. Although her citation count (6 for this key paper) reflects a niche but growing field, her contributions are significant for researchers working on advanced mobility solutions, particularly in scenarios requiring high maneuverability. Dr. Labakhua’s work bridges theoretical control theory and practical robotics, offering valuable insights for students and engineers developing next-generation autonomous vehicles and industrial manipulators.
