About
Janusz Jakubiak is a Polish robotics researcher whose work spans mobile robot kinematics, motion planning, and applied robotic systems for industrial and medical domains. He is perhaps best known for his foundational contributions to the mathematics of mobile manipulators, particularly his development of endogenous configuration space approaches and Jacobian inverse kinematics algorithms for nonholonomic robotic systems — work that has accumulated over 120 citations and remains a key reference in the field. Alongside this theoretical foundation, Jakubiak made significant early contributions to trajectory tracking control for unicycle-type mobile robots, employing cascaded systems theory and observer-based methods to address partial state observability, garnering a combined 60+ citations across related publications. Beyond fundamental theory, Jakubiak has demonstrated a strong commitment to translating robotics research into real-world applications. He played a central role in the ReMeDi project, developing mobile robotic platforms for remote medical examination using ultrasonography and auscultation — an innovation addressing healthcare access disparities in underserved settings. More recently, his work on autonomous belt conveyor inspection robots in underground mining environments reflects a broadening applied focus, earning 55 citations since 2022. Across his career, Jakubiak exemplifies the rare researcher who bridges rigorous mathematical theory with impactful, socially relevant engineering solutions.
