About

Donia Ben Halima Abid is a robotics researcher whose work centers on autonomous mobile robot navigation and control, with a particular focus on trajectory tracking and goal attainment in partially-known environments. Her major contributions lie in the development of intelligent control strategies that blend classical and fuzzy logic approaches. Notably, she designed a fuzzy PI controller that adapts proportional-integral gains in real time, enabling precise and robust robot movement—a method that has garnered 12 citations for its practical effectiveness. Abid also advanced the field by hybridizing global and local navigation methods, creating a two-phase system that first computes an optimal off-line path and then refines it online, achieving reliable navigation even with incomplete environmental knowledge; this work has been cited 10 times. Her foundational study on kinematic PI controllers for trajectory tracking, with 8 citations, further demonstrates her sustained impact on mobile robotics. Through these contributions, Abid has provided scalable, computationally efficient solutions that bridge theoretical control design and real-world robotic applications, making her research valuable for students and engineers working on autonomous systems.
