About
The Autonomous Robotics and Active Vision Research Group focuses on advanced robotics and intelligent control for real-world applications ranging from industrial automation and biomedical systems to teleoperation, security, and search and rescue missions. The group develops and integrates manipulators, mobile robots, multi-robot systems, UAVs, and humanoid platforms. Our research combines nonlinear and AI-based control, advanced control strategies, path planning, perception, and vision systems to design autonomous, reliable, and high-performance robotic solutions.
Research Lines
- Advanced and AI-based control of robotic and nonlinear dynamical systems
- Autonomous navigation, path planning, and multi-robot coordination
- Active vision, perception, and sensor-based robotic intelligence
- Robotics applications in industry, healthcare, teleoperation, and security systems\ \
Highlights
The Autonomous Robotics and Active Vision Research Group is committed to being a leading research group at the University of Sharjah. This group pioneers innovative knowledge and highly sophisticated technological solutions to achieve the aspiration of society by involving students and scientists in the research and development of next-generation active vision algorithms coupled with realistic bio-mimetic kinematics paradigms and articulated physics-based mechanics for the implementation and integration of autonomous robots. The purpose is to interact robots naturally with people and with each other by adapting their behavior to the requirements of the task they are given within the dynamic environment they are situated in.

Collaboration
Our research group and the American University of Ras Al Khaimah - AURAK collaborate to develop and implement various control techniques for the Q-drone in university laboratories. We aim to enhance drone capabilities through innovative control mechanisms, testing them with advanced equipment.
Our research group is collaborating with the Bio-robotics lab at the University of Wisconsin.Currently, one of our research group members is in close contact with the lab members working on a project that includes the control of rehabilitation robotics using advanced techniques such as intelligent control and reinforcement learning.
Our research group has a continuous collaboration with ÉTS Montréal.Two of our research group members are pursuing their Ph.D. studies at ÉTS Montréal: Eng. Saif Sinan is working on Nonlinear Control, Collaboration of Multi-Robot Systems, and Eng. Mahmoud Abdullah is working on Intelligent control of Rehabilitation robots.
Our research group is currently involved in two ongoing research projects with Skoltech.The titles of the projects are: “Protecting copyrights of deep neural networks via digital Watermarking” and “Advanced SLAM with DNN for outdoor delivery robots navigating in harsh weather conditions.” The project has been funded by the University of Sharjah and Skoltech for two years.
