Biography
Farid joined the CSIRO Autonomous Systems Laboratory in October 2009 as a research scientist. Previously, he was a JSPS postdoctoral research fellow at Chiba University in Japan where he has developed an embedded autopilot and a vision-based navigation system for autonomous flight of small unmanned rotorcraft systems.
Farid is originally from Béjaia, Algeria. He received a PhD in Aerial Robotics from the University of Technology of Compiegne (France) in 2007, the M.S. degree in automatic control and the engineer degree in mechatronics from UTC in 2004.
Research interests include modeling and control of UAVs, guidance and navigation, artificial perception, and computer vision.
