About

Salima Djebrani’s research lies at the intersection of mobile manipulation, multi-agent systems, and cooperative robotics, with a focus on enabling robots to perform complex physical tasks in dynamic environments. Her most influential work, “Modelling and control of an omnidirectional mobile manipulator” (2012), introduces a novel control architecture that treats the robot as an individual agent capable of both displacement and force interaction with its surroundings. By integrating reactive planning with impedance control, this paper—garnering 22 citations—provides a foundational framework for robots that must navigate and manipulate objects simultaneously. Djebrani has also made significant contributions to multi-robot cooperation, as seen in her 2009 study on multi-agent prototyping for cooperative carrying tasks, where she demonstrates how multiple mobile manipulators can negotiate and coordinate to transport large objects. Her subsequent work on trajectory generation for both holonomic and non-holonomic platforms (2010) addresses the redundancy resolution challenge, enabling smoother, task-specific motion. Through these efforts, Djebrani has advanced the practical deployment of mobile manipulators in industrial and service settings, establishing herself as a key voice in the development of scalable, cooperative robotic systems.
