About

Sharatul Izah Samsudin is a control systems engineer whose research focuses on advancing the precision and autonomy of robotic and pneumatic systems. Her work spans three critical areas: model predictive control (MPC) for pneumatic actuators, FPGA-based motor control for legged robots, and trajectory tracking for nonholonomic mobile robots. Her most impactful contribution, "Enhanced Position Control for Pneumatic System by Applying Constraints in MPC Algorithm" (2017, 11 citations), introduces a novel constraint-based MPC strategy that significantly reduces overshoot in pneumatic actuator positioning—a persistent challenge in industrial automation. This work demonstrates how intelligent algorithm design can transform the performance of traditionally difficult-to-control systems. Earlier, she explored reconfigurable hardware in "PWM Controller Design of a Hexapod Robot Using FPGA" (2013, 3 citations), pioneering the use of field-programmable gate arrays to achieve faster, more reliable motor control compared to conventional microcontrollers. Her foundational work on "Solving Tracking Problem of a Nonholonomic Wheel Mobile Robot Using Backstepping Technique" (2010, 2 citations) addresses the fundamental challenge of controlling wheeled robots under nonholonomic constraints. Samsudin’s research bridges theoretical control theory with practical robotic applications, offering elegant solutions to real-world motion control problems.
