About
Rim Hendel is a control systems researcher whose work focuses on advanced sliding mode control, nonlinear systems, and intelligent control methodologies. Her research sits at the intersection of robust control theory and artificial intelligence, with particular emphasis on developing sophisticated controller-observer frameworks for complex multi-input multi-output (MIMO) uncertain nonlinear systems. Hendel's most notable contributions center on adaptive high-order sliding mode control, where she has pioneered approaches that combine super twisting algorithms with Type-2 Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy systems. This innovative fusion allows for effective modeling and control of uncertain nonlinear systems, particularly robotic manipulators, using only position measurements — a practically significant advancement that addresses real-world sensor limitations. Her work elegantly tackles the challenge of velocity unavailability by designing robust observer structures that estimate unmeasured states while maintaining system stability. Her two most prominent publications from 2019, accumulating 20 and 18 citations respectively, demonstrate her consistent focus on bridging theoretical rigor with practical robotics applications. For students and researchers in control engineering, Hendel's work represents a meaningful contribution to making advanced nonlinear control strategies more adaptive, reliable, and implementable in real engineering systems facing parametric uncertainties and external disturbances.
