About
Mohamed Maghenem is a leading researcher in nonlinear control theory, with a primary focus on multi-agent systems, nonholonomic robotics, and formation control. His major contributions lie in developing rigorous Lyapunov-based and cascades-based controllers that overcome fundamental limitations in stabilizing nonholonomic vehicles—systems that cannot be stabilized by continuous time-invariant controllers alone. Maghenem pioneered the use of smooth, time-varying, δ-persistently exciting controllers to achieve uniform global asymptotic stability for leader-follower tracking and full consensus, even under challenging conditions such as time-varying delays and non-differentiable measurements. His work on distributed consensus-formation of force-controlled robots has garnered 76 citations, while his formation-tracking control under relaxed persistency of excitation conditions has been cited 49 times, underscoring the field’s reliance on his theoretical frameworks. Notably, he identified a wide class of smooth bounded reference trajectories for which stabilization is possible, expanding the operational envelope of autonomous vehicles. With over 300 total citations across his top papers, Maghenem’s research provides foundational tools for engineers designing resilient, decentralized control systems for fleets of mobile robots, autonomous vehicles, and drones.
