About
Imen Hbiri is a robotics researcher whose work focuses on the specialized domain of in-tank swimming robots for industrial inspection. Her most-cited paper, "Modeling and Parameter Identification of an In-Tank Swimming Robot Performing Floor Inspection" (2018, 5 citations), addresses the critical challenge of low-speed maneuverability in confined liquid environments. Hbiri's key contribution lies in developing a novel dynamic model that incorporates a friction drag force model specifically designed for low-speed streamlined swimming robots. Using boundary layer theory analysis, she mathematically proved the validity of her approach for these unique operating conditions. This work is essential for improving the precision and control of robots tasked with inspecting tank floors in industries such as chemical processing, water treatment, and oil storage. While her citation count is modest, reflecting the niche nature of her research area, Hbiri's contributions are foundational for engineers seeking to enhance the autonomy and accuracy of underwater inspection robots operating at slow speeds in constrained spaces.
