About

Amr Hamed is a pioneering roboticist whose work bridges the gap between bio-inspired design and autonomous control systems. His primary research focuses on developing novel climbing robots and vision-based manipulation systems for aerial platforms. Hamed’s most significant contribution is the creation of the EJBot-II, an optimized skid-steering propeller-type climbing robot that revolutionizes surface adhesion. Unlike traditional climbing robots restricted to specific materials, the EJBot-II uses a hybrid actuation system inspired by propeller-based aviation—yet operates on an opposite adhesion principle, allowing it to traverse diverse terrains with unprecedented versatility. This groundbreaking work has garnered 29 citations and represents a major leap in mobile robotics. Hamed has also advanced autonomous aerial manipulation, addressing the critical challenge of teleoperation limitations through vision-based control for quadrotor systems. His earlier stochastic modeling of machine interference in robot-served manufacturing systems introduced key parameters like robot availability and machine stoppage, laying foundational work for industrial automation. With research spanning from practical climbing mechanisms to theoretical manufacturing models, Hamed continues to push boundaries in robotic mobility and autonomous control.
