Fouad Inel

About

Fouad Inel is a robotics researcher whose work centers on the design, modeling, and control of cable-driven parallel robots (CDPRs) for rehabilitation and industrial applications. His most significant contribution is the development of a novel pyramidal cable-driven robot specifically engineered for rehabilitating and exercising young and disabled children in drawing and writing tasks. This work, published in 2023 and already garnering 14 citations, demonstrates his commitment to translating complex robotic systems into practical therapeutic tools. Inel has also advanced the field of robot control, proposing a non-linear continuous-time generalized predictive control (NCGPC) algorithm for planar CDPRs, which achieved 8 citations for its innovative approach to trajectory tracking. His research portfolio further includes comparative studies of PID and PD controllers for multi-cable robots, kinematic modeling of Mecanum wheeled robots, and the extension of cable robot models into 3D spatial coordinates. By integrating control theory with novel mechanical topologies, Inel is establishing himself as a key figure in the development of safe, compliant, and effective robotic systems for human interaction and precision tasks.
