About

Dr. Ahmed A. Bahnasawi is a control systems and manufacturing engineer whose work bridges theoretical adaptive control with practical industrial efficiency. His research focuses on two key areas: the adaptive control of robotic manipulators and the optimization of manufacturing systems through queueing theory. In his most cited work, "Adaptive model-following controller for robotic manipulators" (1994, 4 citations), Bahnasawi developed a nonlinear state-space model that accounts for gravitational disturbances in robot dynamics, then formulated an adaptive control problem using a linear time-invariant reference model—a contribution that advanced robust manipulator control under real-world loading conditions. His earlier "Indirect discrete-time adaptive algorithm for manipulator control" (1993, 3 citations) further refined these techniques for digital implementation. On the manufacturing side, his "Sensitivity analysis of machine interference in manufacturing systems" (1996, 4 citations) and "Priority analysis of patrolled machines" (1997, 2 citations) provide analytical tools for reducing downtime and improving throughput in automated production lines. Though his citation counts are modest, Bahnasawi’s work represents foundational steps in integrating adaptive control theory with manufacturing systems engineering, offering practical algorithms for robotic precision and factory efficiency.
