About
Marc Jungers is a control systems researcher whose work centers on mobile robotics, nonlinear control theory, and multi-agent systems. His research has made meaningful contributions to the trajectory tracking of nonholonomic wheeled mobile robots, a technically challenging problem due to the inherent motion constraints these systems face. Jungers has been particularly instrumental in advancing sliding mode control techniques for such platforms, developing and refining first- and second-order approaches — most notably the Super-Twisting algorithm — to achieve robust tracking performance in the presence of real-world uncertainties and disturbances. His 2012 paper on Super-Twisting sliding mode tracking control stands as his most cited work, accumulating 13 citations, while his earlier foundational studies on compensated inverse dynamics and adaptive variable structure controllers have further shaped the field. More recently, Jungers has expanded his focus toward cooperative robotics, designing hybrid decentralized control frameworks that enable fleets of nonholonomic robots to achieve consensus and formation objectives, even under directed and asynchronous network conditions. This body of work reflects a consistent commitment to bridging rigorous theoretical control design with practical robotic applications, offering tools that are both mathematically principled and experimentally relevant.
