Waheb A. Jabbar

About

Dr. Waheb A. Jabbar is a leading researcher in autonomous robotics, intelligent control systems, and assistive technologies. His work sits at the intersection of smart mobility and human-centric engineering, with a particular focus on developing real-time navigation solutions for autonomous vehicles and innovative prosthetic devices. Dr. Jabbar’s most cited paper (2020, 24 citations) introduces a groundbreaking roundabout detection and navigation system for smart vehicles, leveraging laser simulator–fuzzy logic algorithms and sensor fusion to enable a wheeled mobile robot to navigate complex road environments autonomously. He further advanced mobile robot control with a novel inertia moment estimation algorithm integrated with an Active Force Control scheme (2021, 21 citations), significantly improving stability in constrained environments. Demonstrating the breadth of his impact, Dr. Jabbar also leads socially meaningful projects, such as the development of a 3D-printed prosthetic robot arm with a grasping detection system for children (2023, 13 citations), designed using SolidWorks and 3D printing technology. His contributions bridge theoretical control engineering with practical, life-changing applications, making him a notable figure in both autonomous systems and assistive robotics.
