About

Ahmad Ghaderi is a robotics and mechatronics engineer whose work focuses on the design, power systems, and autonomous control of mobile robots. His major contributions center on the development of the "Musashi" series of autonomous soccer robots for the RoboCup middle-size league, where he pioneered a mechatronics modular design architecture that enables flexible and robust robot construction. This foundational work, his most cited paper (14 citations), demonstrates how proper component selection and integration can create competitive, autonomous platforms. Ghaderi also advanced pipe inspection robotics by developing a novel method to autonomously correct a robot’s tilt angle inside pipes using material morphology, eliminating the need for human intervention. In the realm of power systems, he designed energy storage and propulsion solutions for omni-directional robots, selecting lithium-ion polymer batteries for their high power density and incorporating protection circuits. Additionally, his research extends to motor control, where he worked on wide-range speed sensorless vector control for synchronous reluctance motors, enabling startup capability. With a career spanning practical robot design, autonomous navigation, and efficient power management, Ghaderi’s work has laid important groundwork for competitive and inspection robotics.
