Lőrinc Márton

About

Lőrinc Márton’s research lies at the intersection of nonlinear control, robotics, and industrial cybersecurity, with a focus on making robotic systems more robust, adaptive, and secure. His most influential work, “Nonlinear Control of Vehicles and Robots” (90 citations), establishes foundational methods for stabilizing complex, underactuated systems. He has made major contributions to adaptive control under uncertainty, developing algorithms that compensate for unknown friction and payload variations (33 citations), and experimentally comparing LQR and subspace stabilization techniques on benchmark platforms like the ball-and-beam system (41 citations). Márton also pioneered practical identification methods for friction and backlash in robotic arms (19 citations), enabling more precise model-based control. Extending into safety and reliability, he introduced energy-based fault detection for robot actuators and on-line lubricant health monitoring, both critical for predictive maintenance. More recently, his work on cyber attack detection and mitigation for industrial control systems (27 citations) addresses the growing threat of digital intrusions in automated environments. With over 240 total citations, Márton’s research bridges theoretical control design and real-world implementation, offering students and engineers actionable tools for building smarter, safer, and more resilient robotic systems.
