About
Shakiru Olajide Kassim is an emerging researcher specializing in soft robotics, advanced control systems, and smart actuator technologies. His work sits at the critical intersection of robotics engineering and control theory, with a particular focus on developing precise control strategies for inherently nonlinear soft robotic systems. Kassim's most significant contributions center on addressing the formidable control challenges posed by Dielectric Elastomer Actuators (DEAs) and Soft Pneumatic Actuators (SPAs). His development of Nonsingular Terminal Sliding Mode Control schemes for DEAs represents a meaningful advancement in enabling wide-band trajectory tracking and finite-time control, tackling notorious nonlinearities such as hysteresis and creep that have long hindered practical deployment. Complementing this, his improved modeling framework for PWM-driven pneumatic systems provides a stronger mathematical foundation for controlling soft pneumatic robots, enhancing their reliability in human-robot interaction applications. With publications spanning 2022 to 2025 and accumulating citations across multiple works, Kassim demonstrates a consistent and focused research trajectory. His contributions are particularly relevant to medical devices, flexible prosthetics, and bio-inspired robotics — domains where precise, compliant actuation is paramount. Students and researchers working in soft robotics will find his control-theoretic approaches directly applicable to real-world robotic system design challenges.
