About
Chiheb Zaoui is a robotics researcher whose work spans two interconnected domains: underwater marine robotics and bipedal locomotion systems. Based at the Tunisian Naval Academy's Automatic Control and Marine Robotics Unit, Zaoui has made significant contributions to the design and modeling of robotic systems for practical engineering challenges. His most influential work focuses on innovative underwater hull cleaning and inspection robots equipped with multi-arm manipulators, addressing critical operational, economic, and environmental needs in the maritime industry. His 2019 paper on underwater cleaning robot design with a two-arm manipulator has garnered 73 citations, establishing him as a notable voice in marine robotics. Earlier in his career, Zaoui explored bipedal robot dynamics, developing novel approaches using synergistic trunk and arm motion to maintain balance under three-dimensional external disturbances — work that remains relevant to humanoid robotics research. Across his publications, he demonstrates expertise in geometric and dynamic modeling, mechanical design, and stability control. His research reflects a sustained commitment to advancing autonomous robotic systems for complex real-world environments, from ocean surfaces to dynamic locomotion platforms.
