About

Mohamed Najib Bouaziz is a robotics researcher specializing in the kinematics and control of multi-legged and articulated robotic systems. His work centers on solving fundamental challenges in robot locomotion and manipulation, particularly for complex mechanisms like hexapods and six-degree-of-freedom manipulators. His most influential contribution, "Optimal force distribution for the legs of an hexapod robot" (2004), with 21 citations, introduced a methodology for calculating optimal force distribution across a hexapod’s legs using nonlinear programming, enabling real-time force control for stable and efficient walking. This work provides a foundational framework for balancing load and stability in legged robots. More recently, Bouaziz proposed a novel geometric approach to solving inverse kinematics for six-DOF robots with spherical joints (2023), offering a computationally efficient alternative to traditional methods by leveraging vector calculus. This approach simplifies the complex mathematics of inverse kinematics, making it more accessible for real-time applications. Bouaziz’s research bridges theoretical geometry and practical robotics, contributing to the advancement of autonomous systems in challenging environments.
