Wheeled Mobile Robotics

Gregor Klancar received B.Sc. and Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia in 1999 and 2003 respectively. He is currently employed as an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at the University of Ljubljana. He is lecturing the autonomous mobile systems at graduate and advanced control of autonomous systems at postgraduate study. His research work mainly focuses on mobile robotics area, on the area of control and also on supervision of multiagent systems and on modelling and control of dynamical systems. His work on wheeled and satellite mobile robotics area includes motion control, trajectory tracking, localization, agent-based behaviour systems and strategies for enabling cooperative behaviours of agents in some group mission. In 1999 he received the PreSeren award for his diploma thesis and in 2004 he received the Ph.D. award of Prof. Dr. Vratislav Bedjanic for his doctoral dissertation. As a member of the faculty's robot soccer team he has achieved many successes, cups and awards at the European and World competitions and championships in robot soccer from the area of mobile robotics. He is the author of 30 papers in scientific journals (among those 23 in journals with impact factor), 7 book chapters in the edited books and 85 conference papers. He is also mentor at 7 Msc thesis and 40 diploma works. He is a member of the IFAC technical committees TC 7.5 (Intelligent Autonomous Vehicles) and Slovenian Modelling and Simulation society and Automation Society of Slovenia.Andrej ZdeSar received B.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering, in 2010 and 2015, respectively, from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. He is currently a member of Laboratory of Autonomous Mobile Systems and holds a position of a researcher at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. His research interests include the field of autonomous mobile systems, visual servoing, machine vision, trajectory tracking control, model predictive control, probabilistic state estimation and fuzzy systems. He has published 4 journal papers with SCI factor and he is author and co-author of 8 conference contributions. In 2010 he received the PreSeren award from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering for the diploma thesis.
