Habilitation colloquium of Dr. Viktoriia Grushkovska
On April 29, 2025, Dr. Viktoriia Grushkovska held the habilitation colloquium entitled “Controlling Nonholonomic Systems: From Steering to Motion Planning in Complex Environments”.
In her talk, she reviewed traditional techniques based on Lie bracket theory for motion planning under nonholonomic constraints and introduced a novel approach that provides a unified solution to these challenges and beyond. The presentation included a discussion on future perspectives in the design of control algorithms for nonholonomic systems operating in complex, dynamic environments, where additional challenges arise due to moving targets and obstacles, external disturbances, and limited knowledge of the mathematical models of both the system and the environment.
