About

Pouria Razzaghi is a robotics researcher specializing in the dynamics, control, and actuation of small-scale and millimeter-sized robotic systems. His work focuses on two primary areas: inertially actuated jumping robots and magnetically controlled millirobots. Razzaghi’s major contributions include developing nonlinear control strategies for inertially actuated jumper robots, which address the complex hybrid dynamics of ground contact and flight phases. His most cited paper, "Nonlinear dynamics and control of an inertially actuated jumper robot" (2019, 33 citations), provides foundational insights into this emerging locomotion paradigm. He has also advanced feedback linearization techniques for these systems (2021, 5 citations) and pioneered feedback control methods for millimeter-scale pivot walkers using magnetic actuation (2023, 8 citations). Additionally, Razzaghi has explored automated group motion control for magnetically actuated millirobots (2023, 3 citations), addressing the challenge of coordinating multiple small-scale robots for tasks like drug delivery and environmental sampling. His research bridges theoretical control design with practical microrobotic applications, offering promising pathways for accessing confined spaces inaccessible to larger robots.
