About
Rigoberto Luis Silva Sousa is a robotics researcher specializing in the control and navigation of nonholonomic mobile systems. His primary research areas include trajectory tracking control, differential drive kinematics, and cascaded control architectures for autonomous ground vehicles. Sousa’s most cited work, “Trajectory tracking control of a nonholonomic mobile robot with differential drive” (2016), has garnered 21 citations and introduces a dual-loop control system that integrates an internal PID for wheel speed regulation with an external loop for precise position and orientation control. This contribution addresses fundamental challenges in mobile robot autonomy, particularly the stabilization and path-following of systems with nonholonomic constraints. By demonstrating a practical, cascaded control approach, Sousa’s research provides a foundation for more robust and accurate mobile robot navigation in real-world environments. His work is of particular interest to students and researchers in control engineering, robotics, and autonomous systems, offering clear methodologies for implementing trajectory tracking on differential drive platforms.
