About

Ivan Zh. Stefanov is a researcher in autonomous robotics and control systems, with a focus on developing intelligent navigation and speed regulation algorithms for mobile robots. His work centers on enabling robots to operate autonomously in structured environments, particularly through line-following systems that integrate real-time position tracking and obstacle avoidance. Stefanov’s most cited paper, "Autonomous navigation and speed control for line following robot" (2018), introduces a novel model that uses continuous speed and length measurements filtered through a histogram filter to estimate the robot’s location and adjust lateral position and velocity accordingly. This contribution addresses key challenges in precision control and localization, achieving 7 citations and demonstrating practical impact in educational and industrial robotics. His research bridges theoretical control methods with applied mechatronics, offering scalable solutions for autonomous ground vehicles. Stefanov’s work is notable for its emphasis on low-cost sensor integration and robust performance, making it accessible for further development in robotics curricula and prototyping. His findings continue to inform advancements in autonomous navigation systems.
