About
Motahareh Asgari is a robotics and control systems researcher whose work bridges theoretical control design and practical biomedical applications. Her primary research areas include nonlinear control systems, mobile robotics, and soft robotic actuators for medical interventions. Asgari’s most impactful contribution is her work on State Dependent Riccati Equation (SDRE) controllers for mobile robots, where she developed a novel approach for moving obstacle avoidance—a paper that has garnered 22 citations and demonstrates her expertise in real-time, nonlinear control strategies. More recently, she has ventured into the critical domain of colorectal cancer screening, authoring a comprehensive review on model-based and model-free control approaches for soft actuators in colonoscopy. This work addresses a pressing global health challenge: colorectal cancer, the third most common cancer worldwide, responsible for nearly 1 million deaths annually. By exploring how soft robotic actuators can improve the safety and efficacy of colonoscopic procedures, Asgari’s research holds promise for enhancing early screening—a key factor in reducing mortality and healthcare costs. Her ability to translate complex control theory into tangible medical solutions marks her as an emerging voice at the intersection of robotics and healthcare innovation.
