Robotics & Autonomous Intelligent Systems
UAV / UGV autonomy · GPS-denied localization · sensor fusion · ROS 2
Senior Research Assistant at the Robotics & Internet of Things Lab, Prince Sultan University (Riyadh), with an MSc in Robotics from KFUPM — heading next into a PhD at KFUPM. I build flying and driving robots, and the perception that keeps them localized when GPS drops out.
- 🚁 Now: drone-to-drone tracking, GPS-denied state estimation, agentic multi-UAV coordination
