Hamed RAHIMI NOHOOJI

Hamed RAHIMI NOHOOJI is a Postdoctoral researcher at the University of Luxembourg's Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT), specifically within the Automation department under Prof. Holger Voos's research group. He holds a Ph.D. from Curtin University (Australia, 2018) and has held research positions at the National University of Singapore, UC Louvain, University of Pisa, and the University of Birmingham. His research focuses on soft robotics, adaptive control systems, and human-robot interaction, with notable contributions to projects like the EU H2020 CYBERLEGs Plus Plus initiative and Singapore's A*STAR-funded soft gripper development.

His work spans neuroadaptive control, reinforcement learning, and fault-tolerant systems, with applications in space robotics, wind turbine control, and collaborative robotics. With over 900 citations and an H-index of 18 (Google Scholar, 2023), his publications appear in top journals like Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing (IF 8.934) and Neurocomputing (IF 5.779). He has authored four Springer book chapters and served as a guest editor for journals including Frontiers in Robotics and AI and IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics.

Research interests include:

• Soft Robotics: Design of compliant actuators, jamming grippers, and topology-optimized soft mechanisms
• Control Systems: Barrier Lyapunov functions, Nussbaum gain techniques, and neuroadaptive methods
• Human-Machine Collaboration: Adaptive trajectory optimization for safe human-robot interaction
• Space Applications: Soft robotics for extraterrestrial missions and compliant systems for space environments

His recent articles emphasize constrained control systems, reinforcement learning for robotics, and lightweight gripper design for aerial platforms. His work often bridges theoretical control principles with practical robotic implementations in dynamic environments.

Scientific achievements include a Student Travel Award at the 2016 Australasian Conf on Robotics and Automation. He has edited topical collections on Human-Robot Interaction and Soft Robotics, reflecting his leadership in shaping the field's research directions.
