About

Nabila Rabbah is a robotics researcher focused on energy-efficient control and modeling for mobile robotic systems. Her work centers on developing intelligent trajectory tracking and control strategies that minimize energy consumption in wheeled mobile robots. In her most-cited paper, she proposes an optimal trajectory tracking controller using backstepping techniques, achieving precise motion while reducing actuator energy use. Rabbah has also pioneered the use of fuzzy logic controllers for energy performance analysis, demonstrating advantages over classical controllers in adaptability and efficiency. Notably, she has advanced physical modeling approaches using Simscape and Simulink to create comprehensive energy models for differential guide mobile robots—an area with few existing models. Her contributions bridge control theory, real-time systems, and energy-aware robotics, with her work on middleware design for real-time operating systems further enabling practical robot deployment. With publications spanning 2018 to 2022, Rabbah’s research is foundational for sustainable robotics, offering engineers and students actionable frameworks for designing mobile robots that balance performance with energy conservation.
