About

Vaibhav Khotre is a robotics researcher whose work centers on the control and navigation of omnidirectional mobile systems. His most-cited paper, "Velocity control of omni drive robot using PID controller and dual feedback" (2016, 12 citations), makes a significant contribution to precise robot motion by integrating two feedback mechanisms—rotary encoders and laser distance sensors—to achieve stable velocity control for four-wheel omni-drive platforms. This dual-feedback approach allows robots to follow mathematically defined paths, such as straight lines and curves, with enhanced accuracy and reliability. Khotre's research addresses fundamental challenges in autonomous navigation, particularly for robots operating in constrained or dynamic environments where maneuverability is critical. By combining classical PID control with sensor fusion, his work provides a practical framework for improving trajectory tracking in omnidirectional robots. This contribution is especially valuable for applications in warehouse automation, service robotics, and research platforms requiring precise, agile movement. Khotre's findings continue to inform subsequent studies on multi-sensor integration and real-time control, establishing him as a thoughtful contributor to the field of mobile robotics.
