About
Dr. Najib Mahjoubi is a leading roboticist specializing in field robotics for hazardous environments, with a primary focus on nuclear decommissioning and radiological characterization. His most influential work, "RICA: A Tracked Robot for Sampling and Radiological Characterization in the Nuclear Field" (2016, 63 citations), introduced a pioneering tracked robotic platform designed to perform safe, remote inspections and sample collection within active nuclear facilities. This contribution directly addresses the critical need for autonomous systems that can operate in high-radiation zones, reducing human exposure during dismantling and decommissioning (D&D) operations. Mahjoubi’s research integrates robust mechanical design with advanced sensing and control algorithms, enabling precise radiological mapping and material sampling. His work has been instrumental in advancing the safety and efficiency of nuclear waste management and facility lifecycle management. With over 60 citations on this flagship paper alone, Mahjoubi’s innovations continue to influence the development of resilient, teleoperated and semi-autonomous robots for extreme environments, marking him as a key figure in the intersection of robotics, nuclear engineering, and environmental remediation.
