About

Jianqiu Mu is a control systems researcher whose work sits at the intersection of nonlinear control theory and mobile robotics, with a particular focus on sliding mode control (SMC) design for complex dynamical systems. His most influential contribution is the development of a generalized regular form framework that significantly streamlines SMC design for nonlinear systems. By leveraging implicit function theory, Mu pioneered a novel approach to constructing nonlinear sliding surfaces that guarantee global asymptotic stability of the resulting sliding motion — a meaningful theoretical advancement in robust control. His work on two-wheeled mobile robots (WMRs) demonstrates the practical power of these techniques, providing rigorous trajectory tracking control schemes with proven reachability and stability guarantees. His 2017 papers have collectively attracted over 70 citations, reflecting strong recognition within the robotics and control communities. Across his publication record, Mu has consistently bridged abstract nonlinear control theory with tangible engineering applications, making his research valuable both to theorists seeking formal stability guarantees and to practitioners designing autonomous mobile systems. His contributions offer a compelling foundation for researchers working on robust control of underactuated or nonlinear robotic platforms.
