About

Maha Saeed is a robotics researcher whose work bridges the foundational challenges of bipedal locomotion with the cutting-edge frontier of hybrid aerial-ground systems. Her research focuses on the design, modeling, and control of novel robotic platforms, with key contributions in two distinct areas. Early in her career, Saeed led the development of NUSTBOT-I, a 4-DOF two-legged walking robot, providing a complete account of its design, fabrication, and control, supported by rigorous mathematical analysis for trajectory tracing—a foundational contribution to legged robotics. More recently, she has advanced the field of aerial manipulation with her work on a Hybrid Ground Aerial Robot (HGAR), a system uniquely capable of both flying and ground motion through independent configurations. Her modeling and control of this robot’s eccentric manipulator represent a significant step toward versatile, multi-modal robots for complex environments. While her citation counts (7 and 3, respectively) reflect the specialized and emerging nature of her work, Saeed’s contributions demonstrate a sustained commitment to pushing the boundaries of robot mobility and manipulation, from walking to flying.
