Mohamed Boukattaya

About

Mohamed Boukattaya is a robotics and control systems researcher whose work has made meaningful contributions to the fields of mobile robot navigation, adaptive control, and autonomous systems. His research primarily focuses on developing sophisticated control strategies for nonholonomic wheeled mobile robots and robotic manipulators, tackling real-world challenges such as kinematic and dynamic uncertainties, external disturbances, and unknown system parameters. Among his most influential contributions is a series of adaptive sliding mode control frameworks for trajectory tracking in mobile robots, addressing both kinematic and dynamic uncertainties through novel estimation techniques. His 2022 work on time-varying nonsingular terminal sliding mode control for second-order nonlinear systems, including n-link robotic manipulators, reflects his progression toward more mathematically rigorous and practically applicable solutions. With over 28 citations, his 2011 paper on robust adaptive control for mobile manipulators remains a cornerstone of his portfolio. Beyond control theory, Boukattaya has expanded into assistive robotics, exploring electric wheelchair localization using multisensor data fusion and fuzzy logic-based trajectory tracking — work with clear humanitarian relevance. His hardware implementations on FPGA platforms further demonstrate a commitment to bridging theoretical design with real-world deployment. Collectively, his body of work represents a sustained and evolving contribution to intelligent, resilient robotic systems.
