About
Mansour Karkoub is a distinguished robotics and control systems researcher whose work spans flexible manipulators, autonomous inspection systems, mobile robot navigation, and medical robotics. His early contributions, including influential work on modelling and μ-synthesis control of flexible manipulators (47 citations) and dual-arm robotic systems handling constrained objects (30 citations), established him as a rigorous theorist in advanced control design. Karkoub has since broadened his research to encompass autonomous pipeline inspection robots equipped with omni-directional cameras (46 citations), addressing critical industrial needs in oil and gas infrastructure maintenance. His expertise in intelligent control is further reflected in his development of fuzzy sliding-mode and backstepping strategies for multi-robot formation control and trajectory tracking, with several papers accumulating over 25 citations. Notably, Karkoub has made meaningful inroads into medical robotics, contributing to augmented reality surgical planning interfaces and MR-guided robotic prostate biopsy systems. His work on bipedal locomotion and underwater vehicle-manipulator systems demonstrates exceptional breadth. Collectively, his publications have garnered hundreds of citations, reflecting sustained influence across academia and applied robotics engineering.
