About
Mohamad T. Shahab is a robotics researcher focused on the distributed optimization, modular design, and optimal control of multi-robot and aerial systems. His work bridges theoretical control methods with practical robotic applications, particularly in the areas of multi-robot coordination and modular unmanned aerial systems (UAS). Shahab’s most cited paper, “Distributed Optimization of Multi-Robot Motion with Time-Energy Criterion” (2019, 8 citations), introduces a decomposition technique that reduces complex multi-robot motion planning problems into simpler, single-robot subproblems, significantly improving computational efficiency. He has also made notable contributions to modular aerial robotics, including the design of the “TetraQuad,” a fractal, tetrahedral-shaped aerial robot capable of non-planar assembly (2023, 3 citations), and an automatic identification system for modular UAS configurations (2023, 3 citations). Earlier work on time-energy optimal control of mobile robots (2013, 2 citations) laid the groundwork for his multi-objective optimization approach. Shahab’s research is particularly relevant for students and researchers interested in scalable, reconfigurable robotic systems and efficient motion planning algorithms.
