About

Khalid Bourr is a researcher specializing in multi-robot systems (MRS), distributed software development, and robotics programming languages. His work centers on addressing one of the most persistent challenges in modern robotics: the complexity of developing coordinated software for systems where multiple robots must collaborate seamlessly to achieve shared goals. Bourr's most significant contributions revolve around X-KLAIM, a coordination and programming language tailored for multi-robot applications. Beginning with "Writing Robotics Applications with X-Klaim" (2020) and progressing through increasingly sophisticated studies, he has systematically demonstrated how X-KLAIM can simplify the development of distributed robotic software built on the widely adopted ROS (Robot Operating System) framework. His 2023 paper, "Coordinating and Programming Multiple ROS-based Robots with X-KLAIM," has garnered the most attention with 5 citations, reflecting growing interest in this approach. More recently, Bourr has pushed the boundaries of automation in robotics development by exploring model-driven approaches, translating high-level BPMN process models directly into executable X-Klaim code. Collectively, his publications, accumulating 14 citations across four years, represent a focused and evolving research agenda aimed at making multi-robot software development more accessible, structured, and reliable for both researchers and practitioners.
