About

Kawther K Younus is a robotics researcher specializing in the control and optimization of mobile and articulated robotic systems, with a particular focus on wheeled mobile robots (WMRs) and flexible manipulators. Her most influential work addresses the critical challenge of path tracking for WMRs operating in slipping environments, where she developed a backstepping control law that integrates kinematic and dynamic models with traction force analysis to maintain trajectory accuracy under adverse conditions—a contribution that has garnered 14 citations. Younus also advances the field of lightweight robotics through her 2025 study on dynamic optimization of composite material robot arms, where she re-engineered a six-degree-of-freedom arm using shape-optimized flexible links and joints to enhance performance while reducing mass. Her additional work on optimum path tracking further demonstrates her commitment to precision control. With a research portfolio that bridges theoretical control design and practical material science, Younus is making notable strides in enabling robots to operate reliably in real-world, non-ideal conditions—a key step toward more robust and efficient autonomous systems.
