About

Sabiha Amin Wadoo is a researcher whose work bridges the fields of control systems, robotics, and engineering education, with a particular focus on making advanced STEM curricula accessible and affordable. Her most recognized contribution explores the innovative use of LEGO robotics kits as a cost-effective alternative to expensive traditional laboratory setups, enabling undergraduate and graduate institutions with limited budgets to offer meaningful hands-on experience in embedded control and robotics engineering. This work, her most cited publication with six citations, demonstrates how observer-based state feedback control concepts can be effectively taught using commercially available platforms. Wadoo has expanded this pedagogical series to include delay-based wireless feedback control systems, further broadening the scope of what affordable laboratory tools can achieve in an educational setting. Beyond engineering education, her research extends into advanced nonlinear control theory, notably her development of Lyapunov-based trajectory tracking dynamic control for wheeled mobile robots such as the QBOT-2, employing backstepping techniques to achieve precise autonomous navigation. Through her dual focus on theoretical rigor and practical accessibility, Wadoo has made meaningful contributions toward democratizing robotics and control engineering education for institutions across the STEM landscape.
