About

Moharam Habibnejad Korayem is a prominent robotics and control systems researcher whose work spans advanced manipulator dynamics, optimal control theory, and robotic reliability engineering. His most significant contributions lie in the development and application of the State-Dependent Riccati Equation (SDRE) framework for controlling complex nonlinear systems. His 2014 paper on finite-time SDRE for nonaffine systems, citing 139 times, established a powerful approach for controlling both rigid and flexible joint manipulators, while subsequent work extended this framework to time-varying systems with state and control nonlinearities. Korayem has made substantial advances in determining the dynamic load-carrying capacity of robotic systems, addressing cable-suspended robots, mobile manipulators, and autonomous platforms navigating obstacle-rich environments. His research on wheeled mobile robotic manipulators using recursive Gibbs–Appell formulation and his path-planning methods grounded in Pontryagin's minimum principle demonstrate his breadth across kinematics, dynamics, and optimization. Beyond theoretical contributions, he has applied quality and reliability methodologies such as FMEA and QFD to improve real-world robotic systems. With hundreds of citations across diverse robotic domains, Korayem's work offers foundational tools for researchers advancing intelligent, flexible, and reliable robotic systems.
