About

Mohamed J. Bakari is a pioneering researcher in the field of robotics for hazardous environments, with a primary focus on nuclear decommissioning. His work centers on the design and development of multi-arm mobile robotic systems that emulate the dexterity and maneuverability of the human arm. Bakari’s major contribution lies in creating a two-arm, seven-function manipulator platform specifically engineered to replace human workers in high-risk nuclear cleanup tasks, where radiation exposure and structural instability pose severe dangers. His most influential paper, "Development of a Multi-Arm Mobile Robot for Nuclear Decommissioning Tasks" (2007), has garnered 82 citations, underscoring its foundational role in advancing remote handling technologies. This work, along with his earlier review "The Use of Robotics and Automation in Nuclear Decommissioning" (2005, 29 citations), established key design principles for integrating automation into decommissioning strategies. Bakari’s research has directly informed safer, more efficient approaches to dismantling legacy nuclear facilities, making him a notable figure in applied robotics for extreme environments. His achievements highlight the critical intersection of mechanical design, control systems, and safety engineering.
