About
Nahla Khraief Haddad is a robotics and control systems researcher whose work centers on rehabilitation robotics, exoskeleton control, and advanced sliding mode algorithms. She has established herself as a leading voice in the design and analysis of intelligent control strategies for upper-limb exoskeleton systems, with a particular focus on enabling effective physical rehabilitation for patients with motor impairments. Her most influential contribution, "A Robust Model Free Terminal Sliding Mode with Gravity Compensation Control of a 2 DoF Exoskeleton-Upper Limb System" (2021, 20 citations), exemplifies her signature approach: developing sophisticated, model-free control techniques that remain robust under real-world uncertainties. Across her body of work, she has systematically advanced sliding mode control theory — integrating adaptive mechanisms, gravity compensation, and Monte Carlo-based robustness analysis — to ensure safe and precise joint motion monitoring for shoulder and elbow rehabilitation. Her 2018 and 2019 papers further cemented her expertise in robustness evaluation and parametric uncertainty management. More recently, Haddad has expanded into human-in-the-loop dynamic modeling, reflecting a growing interest in realistic human-robot interaction. With over 70 cumulative citations and a consistent publication record spanning 2017 to 2023, her research makes a meaningful impact on assistive technology and medical robotics communities worldwide.
