About

Santos M. Orozco-Soto is a researcher at the forefront of aerial robotics and humanoid control, specializing in the safe and precise manipulation of robots in challenging environments. His work bridges the gap between theoretical control systems and real-world applications, with a particular focus on aerial manipulators for critical infrastructure tasks. Orozco-Soto’s major contributions include pioneering hybrid force/position control systems that enable aerial robots to deliver sustained horizontal forces—a breakthrough for tasks like installing devices on power lines, as demonstrated in his highly cited 2021 AERIAL-CORE study (47 citations). He has also advanced humanoid robotics through active disturbance rejection control, using sliding mode observers to achieve stable walking and motion control, with key papers from 2016 and 2017. His work on fuzzy sliding mode control for haptic interfaces and trajectory tracking further showcases his versatility. With over 75 total citations, Orozco-Soto’s research is not only innovative but impactful, addressing real-world safety and efficiency challenges in power line maintenance and robotic rehabilitation. His recent 2024 studies on leveraging environmental constraints to enhance aerial manipulator force delivery mark him as a rising leader in autonomous systems.
