Rate My Professor Sabine Hauert

Hauert's research centers on swarm engineering across scales, developing trustworthy robot swarms for real-world applications such as nanorobots for cancer treatment and wound healing, drone swarms for wildfire detection and mitigation, and swarms for warehouse logistics and last-mile delivery. As principal investigator, she has secured over £40 million in funding, including the Co-AIMS Research Hub on Collaborative AI for Manufacturing Sustainability (2025-2032) and Trustworthy Robot Swarms to Power City-Scale Logistics (2025-2030). Her key publications include 'DRESS: Distributed Robotic Enhanced Soft System for Non-Uniform Object Transportation' (2026, IEEE RoboSoft), 'Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning of a Fault-Robust Controller in an Intralogistics Robot Swarm' (2026, ANTS), and 'Scalable real-time multi-UAV coverage path planning for large geographical areas' (2026, ICAR). She received the DARS'24 Best Paper Award and an honorary OBE in February 2026 for services to robotics. Hauert is President and Co-founder of Robohub.org, executive trustee of AIhub.org, and has contributed to the UK Robotics Growth Partnership and IEEE RAS executive boards.
