About
Chaima Bensaci is a leading researcher in the safety and control of autonomous multi-robot systems operating in hazardous, dynamic environments. Her work focuses on complex industrial plants and chemical analysis laboratories, where fleets of mobile robots must navigate risks involving dangerous, poisonous, and explosive materials while interacting with human workers. Bensaci’s major contributions center on pioneering the application of System-Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA) to multi-robot systems. She has developed novel hybrid and hierarchical control architectures, comparing them against centralized and distributed designs to enhance system safety. Her most cited work (34 citations) models collision hazards in multi-robot transportation tasks by integrating STPA with Stochastic Petri Nets, while another highly influential study (33 citations) uses STPA and Bowtie analysis to compare control architectures. Bensaci has also combined STPA with Fault Tree Analysis and the Analytic Hierarchy Process to create comprehensive risk assessment frameworks. Her research has accumulated over 100 citations, establishing her as a key voice in safety-critical robotics. By bridging advanced control theory with rigorous hazard analysis, Bensaci provides essential methodologies for deploying autonomous robot teams in high-stakes environments where failure is not an option.
