About

Sana Stihi is an emerging researcher specializing in advanced control systems, robotics, and nonlinear control theory, with a particular focus on fractional-order control methods and sliding-mode control for robotic applications. Her work addresses some of the most pressing challenges in modern robotics, including precise trajectory tracking, finite-time convergence, and the control of complex, underactuated systems. Among her most notable contributions is her development of a Finite-Time Prescribed Performance Fractional Power Rate Reaching Law Sliding-Mode Control strategy for 4-DOF robot manipulators, which has garnered 14 citations since its publication in 2024. This work tackles critical demands in manufacturing and surgical robotics by ensuring rapid system response and energy-efficient operation. Complementing this, her 2023 research on Fractional PID control with prescribed performance functions for rotary flexible joints—already accumulating 11 citations—offers innovative solutions for inherently nonlinear and underactuated robotic systems increasingly used in inspection and maintenance tasks. Though early in her academic career, Stihi has quickly established herself as a promising voice in intelligent control design for robotics. Her research holds significant implications for improving safety, precision, and adaptability in next-generation robotic systems across industrial and medical domains.
