About

Mohamed A. Mabrok is a leading researcher in control theory and autonomous robotics, with a focus on negative imaginary (NI) systems and multi-agent coordination. His seminal 2014 paper, "Generalizing Negative Imaginary Systems Theory to Include Free Body Dynamics," has garnered 166 citations and provides a foundational framework for robust control of highly resonant flexible structures, enabling stable control of systems with free body motion. This work has significant implications for aerospace and mechanical engineering. Beyond theory, Mabrok drives practical innovation in robotics, as demonstrated by his development of RISCuer, a reliable multi-UAV search and rescue testbed, and OCTUNE, an optimal control tuning method using real-time data for autonomous robots. His recent contributions extend to large-scale swarm control in cluttered environments and real-time colonic disease diagnosis with low-latency assistive control, showcasing his versatility. Mabrok’s work on the KAUST team for the MBZIRC ground robotics challenge further highlights his expertise in perception, navigation, and manipulation. With a career spanning foundational theory to cutting-edge applications, Mabrok’s research continues to shape the future of autonomous systems and control.
