About
Nathir A. Rawashdeh is a robotics researcher whose work spans autonomous navigation, industrial automation, and educational robotics. His key contributions include developing video-based object detection and tracking systems optimized for weight-sensitive UAVs (29 citations), and advancing radar odometry for autonomous ground vehicles—a critical technology for state estimation in adverse weather and lighting conditions where traditional sensors fail (24 citations). Rawashdeh has also made significant strides in industrial robotics, interfacing computing platforms for dynamic control of KUKA robot arms (17 citations) and designing PLC-controlled vision-based waste recycling sorting systems (9 citations). His comprehensive review on robotics research and education (21 citations) has become a valuable resource for the field, synthesizing trends, challenges, and future directions. Notable achievements include developing a person-following robotic cart controlled via smartphone (11 citations), an underwater gripper for the OpenROV submarine robot (6 citations), and a gesture-controlled collaborative robot arm lab kit (4 citations). Through his work at Michigan Technological University, Rawashdeh bridges cutting-edge research with practical education, creating mechatronics systems that inspire the next generation of roboticists.
