About

Dr. Hadeel Mabrouk is a pioneer in the field of swarm robotics, where her work focuses on decoding how simple, local interactions between agents can give rise to complex, intelligent group behaviors. Her primary research centers on the development of **social potential field models**, a novel framework that applies principles of attraction and repulsion—akin to physical forces—to coordinate multi-robot systems. In her foundational 2007 paper, "Swarm Robot Social Potential Fields with Internal Agent Dynamics," Dr. Mabrouk introduced a second-order non-linear system for self-propelled agents, a significant contribution that has garnered **10 citations** and laid the groundwork for controlling large-scale robotic collectives. She further refined this approach in her 2008 work, "Social Potential Model to Simulate Emergent Behaviour for Swarm Robots," demonstrating how these models can simulate emergent behaviors for applications ranging from space and subsea exploration to complex disposal systems. Dr. Mabrouk’s major achievement lies in bridging theoretical physics with practical robotics, offering a scalable and decentralized solution for coordinating teams of artificial agents. Her work remains a critical reference for researchers seeking to engineer robust, self-organizing robotic swarms.
