About
Ramy Rashad is a leading researcher in aerial robotics and control systems, whose work centers on fully actuated multirotor UAVs, port-Hamiltonian control theory, and bio-inspired flapping flight. His major contributions include pioneering the use of geometric port-Hamiltonian frameworks for wrench and impedance control of fully-actuated hexarotors, enabling safe physical interaction with unknown surfaces—a critical capability for contact-based inspection tasks. His highly cited review on fully actuated multirotor UAVs (132 citations) has become a foundational reference in the field, while his energy tank-based approaches have advanced safe, energy-aware robotic interaction. Rashad has also explored vision-based impedance control for autonomous inspection and developed novel systems for upper limb rehabilitation robotics. His interdisciplinary work extends to decoding flapping flight dynamics using port-Hamiltonian theory, bridging biology and engineering. With over 300 total citations and recent contributions to swarm robotics and flapping-wing robots, Rashad continues to shape the future of aerial manipulation, physical human-robot interaction, and biologically-inspired flight systems.
