About

Sergey A. Kochetkov is a leading researcher in mobile robotics and nonlinear control systems, with a focus on trajectory planning, stabilization, and disturbance rejection for autonomous wheeled vehicles and robot manipulators. His pioneering work on the "Method of decomposition in mobile robot control" (2011, 22 citations) introduced a novel two-level control architecture that eliminates the need for trajectory feasibility analysis by generating realizable driving actions, fundamentally simplifying mobile robot navigation. Kochetkov further advanced the field with his "New Second-Order Sliding Mode Control Algorithm" (2022, 8 citations), which combines discontinuous and radical function components to achieve robust transient performance under smooth disturbances. His trajectory stabilization algorithm (2010, 5 citations) leverages the block approach for precise mobile platform control, while his recent work on generating achievable three-dimensional trajectories (2023, 4 citations) automates the transformation of discrete waypoints into smooth, continuous paths using tracking differentiators. Additionally, his disturbance rejection algorithm for multi-link manipulators (2017, 2 citations) addresses real-world tracking challenges in joint space. With a career spanning over a decade, Kochetkov's contributions are essential reading for researchers in sliding mode control and autonomous navigation.
