About

Mohammad Sadeghi Shahidi is a robotics researcher whose work centers on the control and dynamics of nonholonomic wheeled mobile robots (WMRs)—systems where motion constraints prevent simple sideways movement. His key contribution lies in developing advanced sliding mode control (SMC) strategies to address the challenging problem of trajectory tracking when a robot’s center of mass does not align with its geometric center. In his most cited work, "Dynamic Based SMC of Nonholonomic Mobile Robots" (2013), Shahidi derived a complete dynamic model in global Cartesian coordinates and designed a robust controller that compensates for this offset, ensuring accurate path following despite model uncertainties and disturbances. While his citation count (2) reflects a focused, early-career impact, the paper addresses a fundamental issue in mobile robotics—non-coincident centroids—that has practical relevance for autonomous vehicles and service robots. Shahidi’s research bridges theoretical control theory with real-world robotic applications, offering a rigorous framework for engineers designing more maneuverable and reliable mobile platforms. His work continues to inform studies on nonlinear control and underactuated systems.
