About

Mogahid Farah is a robotics researcher whose work centers on autonomous systems, mechatronics, and renewable energy technologies. His primary contributions lie in developing intelligent robotic solutions for solar energy maintenance, particularly through the design of autonomous cleaning robots for photovoltaic panels. His most cited work, "Design and Implementation of an Autonomous Mobility Algorithm for Photovoltaic Panel Surface Cleaning Robots Based on Webots" (2022), introduces a novel path planning algorithm that enables a robot to navigate solar panel surfaces using an Inertial Measurement Unit, effectively addressing the critical issue of dust accumulation that reduces solar efficiency. This research demonstrates Farah's ability to integrate simulation environments (Webots) with real-world hardware implementation, bridging the gap between theoretical algorithms and practical deployment. With 3 citations, this paper represents a foundational contribution to the emerging field of solar farm automation. Farah's work is particularly significant for developing nations with high solar irradiance and dust-prone environments, where automated cleaning can dramatically improve energy output. His research exemplifies the intersection of robotics, renewable energy, and sustainable technology, positioning him as an innovator in autonomous maintenance systems for green infrastructure.
