About

Wafa Batayneh is a researcher specializing in robotics, intelligent control systems, and human-machine interfaces, with a growing focus on remote robotic surgery and assistive technologies. His work spans the design and optimization of autonomous mobile systems, biomedical robotics, and tactile internet-enabled surgical applications. Batayneh's most widely recognized contribution lies in advancing motion control for smart wheelchairs, where his development of PD-Fuzzy-P and GA-PID controllers for omnidirectional wheelchair systems earned 18 citations, establishing him as a notable voice in assistive robotics. His experimental validations further demonstrated real-world applicability of these control strategies for improving mobility among people with disabilities. More recently, Batayneh has pivoted toward the demanding field of remote robotic surgery, applying Kalman Filter-based position estimation and Transformer-based Informer models to enhance precision in tactile internet environments — work that has already attracted early citation traction. His earlier research on EMG-based robotic arm control using wearable MYO armbands reflects a consistent interest in intuitive, human-centered robot interaction. Collectively, Batayneh's portfolio reveals a researcher bridging intelligent control theory with practical biomedical and rehabilitation applications, making his work particularly relevant for students and engineers working at the intersection of robotics, healthcare technology, and real-time control systems.
