Adouane reports on his research since 2006 to increase the autonomy of the mobile mono robot as well as multi-robot systems to achieve complex tasks. More precisely, he says, his main objective is to develop generic control architectures in order to enhance the safety, flexibility, and reliability of autonomous navigation in complex environments. He covers global concepts and challenges related to the control of intelligent mobile robots, autonomous navigation in cluttered environments, hybrid continuous/discrete multi-controller architectures, hybrid reactive/cognitive and homogeneous control architecture based on a parallel elliptic limit-cycle, flexible and reliable autonomous vehicle navigation using an optimal waypoints configuration, and the cooperative control of multi-robot systems.
