About
Khaled Assaleh is a roboticist whose work centers on the design, morphology, and control of modular self-reconfigurable robotic systems (MSRRS). His primary research focuses on developing planar hexagonal robotic modules that can autonomously change their shape and function, a field with profound implications for adaptive and resilient robotics. Assaleh’s major contribution is the design and implementation of HexBot, a pioneering modular system where each homogeneous, cost-effective unit can connect, disconnect, and rearrange to form new configurations. He has specifically addressed the complex challenge of reconfiguration path planning, developing algorithms that determine the precise sequence of individual module movements required to transform the system’s overall shape. His 2011 paper on HexBot’s design has garnered 10 citations, while his 2009 work on morphology and path planning for hexagonal MSRRS has been cited 5 times, reflecting foundational interest in his approach. By tackling both the hardware design and the algorithmic planning for self-reconfiguration, Assaleh has contributed to the foundational principles that enable future robots to adapt to unknown environments, repair themselves, or change their locomotion strategy without human intervention.
