Sami Charaf Eddine

About

Sami Charaf Eddine is a robotics researcher whose work sits at the intersection of hazardous environment automation and advanced kinematic design. His primary research areas include robotic systems for construction and rehabilitation, parallel kinematic machines, and sensor-based localization in degraded visibility conditions. Charaf Eddine’s most significant contribution is his leadership in the EU-funded Bots2ReC project, which introduced mobile robotic units for the automated removal of asbestos contamination on construction sites—a novel use case addressing critical health and safety challenges. His 2017 paper on this topic has garnered 20 citations, while his 2020 work on radar SLAM for autonomous indoor grinding, which tackles localization in dusty, low-visibility environments, has received 14 citations. He has also contributed to the study of redundantly actuated DELTA-type parallel kinematic mechanisms and compared parallel kinematic machines with three translational degrees of freedom. Charaf Eddine’s research demonstrates a clear focus on deploying robotics in extreme conditions, from asbestos abatement to grinding in dust-filled spaces, making his work highly relevant for students and researchers interested in field robotics, automation in construction, and robust perception systems.
