About
Negin Lashkari is a robotics researcher specializing in the control and coordination of multi-robot systems, particularly those that are physically connected or docked. Her work addresses fundamental challenges in nonlinear, underactuated, and highly-coupled system dynamics, with a focus on developing robust controllers that can handle model uncertainties and limited state information. A key contribution is her development of a novel robust control method for heterogeneous mobile robot formations with autonomous docking capability, enabling robots to physically connect to overcome limitations in battery life, transport capacity, and rough-terrain maneuverability—a paper that has garnered 51 citations. She has also advanced the field through her work on velocity estimators for docked mobile robots (21 citations) and backstepping tracking control for tractor-trailer systems (17 citations), where a single tractor robot pulls multiple passive trailers. Her research, which combines theoretical rigor with experimental validation, has direct applications in logistics, exploration, and collaborative robotics, making her a notable figure in the development of practical, robust control strategies for complex robotic formations.
