About

Marc Vazquez is a robotics researcher specializing in nonlinear control systems for wheeled mobile robots (WMRs). His work focuses on Lyapunov-based trajectory tracking and dynamic control, with a key contribution being the design and simulation of a trajectory tracking controller for the QBOT-2 platform. Vazquez’s approach integrates a Lyapunov-based nonlinear feedback kinematic controller with the Backstepping method for dynamic control, enabling robust and stable path following in mobile robotics. While his most-cited paper, "Lyapunov Based Trajectory Tracking Dynamic Control for a QBOT-2" (2020), has garnered 2 citations, it represents foundational work in applying Lyapunov stability theory to practical WMR systems. His research addresses critical challenges in autonomous navigation, particularly the synthesis of kinematic and dynamic control laws for nonholonomic systems. Vazquez’s contributions are valuable for students and researchers exploring nonlinear control, mobile robot autonomy, and Lyapunov-based design methodologies, offering a clear framework for trajectory tracking in constrained robotic platforms.
