About

Abeer M. Mahmoud is a robotics researcher specializing in the modeling, simulation, and control of novel hybrid mobile robots. Her work focuses on the kinematics and dynamics of wheeled and legged locomotion, particularly for robots designed to navigate uneven or inclined terrain. Mahmoud’s most significant contribution is the development of mathematical models for trajectory estimation and energy cost analysis of skid-steering mobile robots with independently driven wheels, as detailed in her 2011 paper (8 citations). She has also made notable advances in the study of rotating four-legged robots, such as the PEOPLER and PEOPLER-II platforms, using hybrid genetic algorithms and object-oriented simulators to analyze circular path motion under varying friction and payload conditions. Her research, spanning papers from 2008 to 2011, has laid foundational groundwork for understanding how ground interaction and mechanical design influence robot mobility. With a total of 17 citations across her top works, Mahmoud’s contributions are valuable for students and engineers developing versatile robots for search-and-rescue, assistive mobility, and rough-terrain exploration.
