About
Jack Hartner is a leading researcher in the modeling, simulation, and optimization of hybrid power systems for autonomous robotics, with a particular focus on unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs). His most cited work, "Modeling and simulation of an unmanned ground vehicle power system" (2014, 10 citations), introduces a groundbreaking hybrid systems framework that integrates multiple power sources—including fuel cells, batteries, and ultra-capacitors—to address the critical challenge of energy management during long-duration missions. By developing sophisticated simulation models, Hartner has enabled more efficient energy storage and on-demand power conversion, directly improving the endurance and reliability of field-deployed robots. His contributions bridge the gap between theoretical control systems and practical robotic applications, offering engineers a robust tool for designing next-generation autonomous platforms. Hartner’s work is essential reading for students and researchers in robotics and energy systems, providing foundational insights into the complex interplay between power sources and mission requirements. His research continues to influence the development of sustainable, high-performance robotic systems for defense, exploration, and industrial automation.
