About
Rasheedat M. Mahamood is a versatile engineer and researcher whose work spans robotics and control systems, advanced manufacturing, and emerging Industry 4.0 technologies. Early in her career, Mahamood made significant contributions to flexible manipulator control, developing hybrid PD/PID and adaptive control schemes for two-link flexible robotic arms — work that has collectively garnered over 37 citations and remains foundational in trajectory tracking and vibration suppression research. Her investigations employed the Lagrange and assumed mode method, with iterative learning control further enhancing system performance. Broadening her scope into materials and manufacturing, Mahamood has explored additive manufacturing's transformative role in Industry 4.0, as well as Friction Stir Welding (FSW) optimization using Taguchi methods — her 2024 study on aerospace-grade Al-Li 2060 alloy welding has already attracted 21 citations, reflecting its immediate relevance to the aviation sector. More recently, she has turned her attention to robotic safety, contributing a systematic review on deployment risks and international safety standards. Across disciplines, Mahamood's research demonstrates a rare breadth, connecting precision control theory with real-world manufacturing and safety challenges, making her a valuable voice in contemporary engineering research.
