About
Muhammad Labiyb Afakh is a robotics researcher specializing in bio-inspired aerial vehicles, particularly flapping-wing robots (ornithopters), and mobile robot control systems. His major contributions center on advancing the autonomy and maneuverability of flapping-wing robots, including enabling self-takeoff from the ground—a critical capability for practical deployment—and maintaining attitude stability during gliding for energy-efficient flight. His work on independently controllable wings and systematic analysis of wing deformation and flapping parameters has deepened understanding of aerodynamic performance in these systems. Beyond aerial robotics, Afakh has contributed to ground robotics through fuzzy logic-based path planning for omnidirectional mobile robots and PID-controlled ball handling for soccer-playing robots. His most cited paper, "Development of Flapping Robot with Self-Takeoff from The Ground Capability" (2021, 15 citations), highlights his impact in ornithopter research. With publications spanning 2018 to 2024, Afakh’s work bridges theoretical aerodynamics and practical robot design, offering valuable insights for students and researchers in bio-inspired robotics, control systems, and autonomous navigation.
