Lotfi Chaouech

About

Lotfi Chaouech is a control systems researcher whose work centers on intelligent and nonlinear control strategies, with a particular focus on fuzzy logic systems and sliding mode control. His key research areas include fuzzy sliding mode controllers, backstepping control, and the application of these methods to unmanned aerial vehicles, especially quadrotors. Chaouech’s major contribution lies in the design of a novel fuzzy sliding mode controller that integrates a parallel distributed compensation controller with the scalar sign function, offering enhanced robustness and reduced chattering in nonlinear systems. This work, published in 2016, has garnered 13 citations, reflecting its impact on the field of advanced control theory. More recently, in 2025, he has explored fuzzy backstepping control for quadrotors, addressing the critical trade-off between precision and energy efficiency—a practical challenge for autonomous flight. His research demonstrates a commitment to bridging theoretical control design with real-world application, making his work valuable for students and researchers interested in intelligent control, robotics, and aerospace systems.
