About

Habib Dallagi is a robotics and marine engineering researcher whose work centers on the design, modeling, and control of underwater robotic systems, with a particular focus on autonomous hull cleaning and inspection technologies. Based at the Tunisian Naval Academy's Automatic Control and Marine Robotics Unit, Dallagi has made significant contributions to the development of specialized underwater robots equipped with multi-arm manipulators capable of performing complex maintenance tasks on ship hulls — work that addresses critical operational, economic, and environmental challenges in the maritime industry. His most influential contribution, "Innovative Design of an Underwater Cleaning Robot with a Two Arm Manipulator for Hull Cleaning" (2019), has garnered 73 citations, establishing him as a notable voice in marine robotics. His broader body of work spans geometric and dynamic modeling of robotic stations, mechanical design for pitch and roll stability, and the integration of robotic arms for both cleaning and inspection missions. By systematically advancing hull maintenance automation — a field of research interest since the 1950s — Dallagi has helped bridge the gap between theoretical robotics and practical maritime applications, offering solutions that reduce human risk and improve operational efficiency in underwater environments.
