About
Shweda Mohan is a robotics researcher whose work centers on the dynamic control of non-holonomic, underactuated systems—specifically the unicycle robot. Her research addresses the fundamental challenge of stabilizing and controlling a platform that has minimal ground contact, making it an ideal testbed for motion and balance algorithms. Mohan’s major contributions lie in the application of advanced control strategies to this inherently unstable system. In her highly cited 2016 paper, she introduced a decoupled dynamic control approach using an Integral Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) combined with a Sliding Mode Controller, achieving robust stabilization. She extended this work in 2018 with a coupled dynamic control framework, further refining the interaction between the robot’s subsystems. Both papers have garnered 8 citations each, reflecting their significance in the field of nonlinear control. Mohan’s work is notable for bridging theoretical control design with practical implementation on a challenging robotic platform, offering valuable insights for researchers studying balance, motion planning, and robust control in mobile robotics. Her contributions continue to influence the development of agile, single-point-contact robots.
