Brief-Bio
I was born from the beautiful lands of Lebanon in 1998. I obtained my Mechanical Engineering diploma in 2021 from USEK. My final year engineering thesis was Designing, Modelling and Controlling an underwater mobile robot via teleoperation. I decided to continue my work in the robotic field later on and i received my M.Sc in Robotics at the Universite de Montpellier in 2022 where i also had the chance to work on polymorphic underwater robots at LIRMM at the time.
I realized that Human-Robot interaction is a “must” in robotics and i decided to choose my Master thesis as Haptic Shared Control with the RoBioSS team. My work involved formalizing a Blending Technique between a Human and Robot agent to collaborate and work together in a given teleoperated task to succeed together in a typical pick and place industrial scenario.
My PhD in AUCTUS is with my supervisor Margot Vulliez and Vincent Padois in collaboration with the RoBioSS team of Pprime with my director Jean Piere Gazeau where i am continuing my work on Shared Control with the theme “Shared-autonomy control for improving Human-Robot collaboration in haptic teleoperation”.
Research Interest and Future Work
What we know is a drop, what we don’t know is an ocean
In my opinion, robots are and will always be part of our life. The question is not whether the robots are performing better or adapting to the society but whether the human-robot collaboration would profit from the Human’s planning and situation awareness with the robot’s precision and pace effectively.
I Intend to formalize a general way to share control between human operators and robots. Designing and controlling robots for a specific task takes a lot of time with dedication and hard work. Yet these robots that are controlled mostly by humans becomes a liability for the human operator in terms of cognitive workload,task difficulty, ergonomical factor. Thus, it would be a great notion for the future to have a general controller that can be implemented to any robot in which it can be shared ultimately with a human operator and an autonomous system in order to a achieve greater results
