About
Houssem Karkri is a robotics researcher specializing in the modeling and control of underwater swimming robots for industrial inspection applications. His primary research focuses on developing accurate dynamic models for low-speed aquatic robots, particularly those designed for in-tank floor inspection tasks. In his most cited work, "Modeling and Parameter Identification of an In-Tank Swimming Robot Performing Floor Inspection" (2018), Karkri made a significant contribution by deriving the equations of motion for a streamlined swimming robot operating at low speeds. He introduced a novel friction drag force model based on boundary layer theory, proving its validity for low-speed maneuvers—a critical advancement for precise robot control in confined industrial environments. This work has garnered 5 citations, establishing a foundation for subsequent research in underwater inspection robotics. Karkri's contributions are particularly valuable for industries requiring non-invasive tank inspection, where accurate robot dynamics are essential for safe and efficient operation. His research bridges theoretical fluid dynamics with practical robotic applications, making him a notable figure in the field of specialized underwater robotics.
