About
Z. Mohamed is a prominent robotics and control systems researcher whose work has significantly advanced the fields of flexible manipulator dynamics, vibration control, and autonomous mobile robotics. Best known for pioneering contributions to command shaping techniques for flexible robot manipulators — a 2003 paper that has garnered 147 citations — Mohamed has systematically tackled the core challenge of unwanted vibrations inherent in lightweight, slender robotic arms. His comprehensive 2016 review of flexible-link manipulator modelling and control (113 citations) stands as an essential reference for researchers entering the field, synthesizing decades of progress across robotics, solid mechanics, and control engineering. Mohamed's work spans robust control design using LQR and H∞ loop-shaping strategies, grey-box modelling with bio-inspired optimisation algorithms, and fuzzy logic-based control for multi-degree-of-freedom systems. Demonstrating impressive breadth, he has also extended his expertise to mobile robotics, contributing a highly cited multi-objective path planning framework for agricultural robots (106 citations) and optimal PID-based velocity control for mobile platforms. With a body of work accumulating over 500 citations across diverse application domains, Mohamed's research continues to bridge fundamental control theory with real-world robotic implementation, making him a valuable contributor to modern intelligent systems research.
