About

Karim Tafsi is a researcher in mobile robotics and human-robot interaction, with a focus on accessible control systems for educational and research platforms. His most-cited work, "Control and Teleoperation of Robot Khepera via Android Mobile Device through Bluetooth and WiFi" (2016, 27 citations), demonstrates a practical approach to democratizing robot control by enabling teleoperation through widely available Android devices. This contribution bridges the gap between sophisticated robotic hardware and intuitive user interfaces, leveraging both Bluetooth and WiFi communication for flexible, real-time control. By designing applications that allow students and researchers to command the Khepera III mobile robot without specialized equipment, Tafsi has lowered barriers to entry in robotics experimentation. His work is particularly valuable in educational settings, where cost-effective and user-friendly solutions are essential for hands-on learning. Tafsi’s research underscores the importance of integrating consumer technology with robotic systems, paving the way for more accessible teleoperation and control architectures in mobile robotics.
