About
V. A. Samsonov is a leading researcher in the field of robotic locomotion, specializing in the control of friction-powered and vibratory robots moving across rough, planar surfaces. His work focuses on the complex interplay between dry friction, anisotropic contact forces, and minimal control inputs to achieve stable, planar motion. Samsonov’s major contributions include the development of control algorithms for a friction-powered robot with a flywheel and eccentric weight (2020, 17 citations), which remains his most influential work. He has also advanced the understanding of vibratory robots by estimating admissible control parameters for systems with internal pendulums (2018, 6 citations). His studies on snake robots with passive joints and anisotropic dry friction (2022, 3 citations) demonstrate how single control inputs can guide multi-link configurations. Samsonov’s research is notable for its rigorous mathematical modeling and practical implications for designing simple, robust robots for rough terrain. With a growing citation record, his work is foundational for students and engineers exploring non-holonomic systems and friction-driven robotics.
