About

Abdelfatah M. Mohamed is a robotics and automation researcher whose work spans climbing robots, rehabilitation robotics, surgical systems, and advanced control engineering. He is perhaps best recognized for his pioneering development of propeller-type climbing robots, most notably the EJBot, designed to inspect industrial and petrochemical vessels—including those constructed from non-ferromagnetic materials—earning him over 50 citations on his most prominent publication alone. His innovations in adhesion and locomotion mechanisms have significantly advanced the field of industrial inspection robotics. Equally notable is Mohamed's contribution to rehabilitation engineering, where he has developed biomechanically inspired sit-to-stand assistive systems grounded in minimum jerk motion modeling, offering more natural and effective support for elderly and mobility-impaired individuals. This line of work has garnered considerable scholarly attention, reflecting its practical and humanitarian significance. Mohamed has also made meaningful strides in surgical robotics, proposing a dexterous 3-DOF parallel manipulator tailored for minimally invasive procedures, and in novel joint design through contactless active magnetic bearing technology. His broader portfolio encompasses teleoperation control, wrist rehabilitation devices, and mobile robot optimization. Across these diverse domains, Mohamed's research consistently bridges theoretical modeling with experimental validation, establishing him as a versatile and impactful figure in applied robotics research.
