Mohamed
Abdelaal
Lead Robotics & AI Solutions Engineer
12+ years connecting robotics, Physical AI and intelligent sensing to real operations. I build autonomous systems and turn drone and sensor data into useful decisions.

About Me
Engineering intelligent systems for industry, infrastructure and the environment.
Where Robotic Hardware Meets Machine Intelligence
Based in Kuwait with ZainTECH’s Operations Drones and Robotics team, I design and deploy aerial, ground and underwater systems. My work combines embedded engineering, computer vision and automated spatial data pipelines.
From national revegetation monitoring to industrial inspections, I focus on systems that work reliably in the field.
My hands-on toolkit includes ROS2, C++, Python, NVIDIA Jetson, ArcGIS Pro and cloud platforms. I integrate LiDAR, thermal, multispectral and environmental sensors into complete engineering workflows.
I also mentor engineers and students, develop UAV training programmes and contribute to applied robotics research.

Engineering Specializations
Practical solutions across AI, enterprise drones and robotics.

Spatial AI & Computer Vision
Deep learning for plant detection, environmental monitoring and infrastructure assessment. Custom ArcGIS Pro tools turn aerial imagery into repeatable analysis.

Enterprise UAV & Mapping
Industrial drone operations, LiDAR, thermal and multispectral surveys, 3D photogrammetry and high-precision mapping for large field projects.
Engineering for Real Operations
Define the mission. Integrate the hardware. Validate in the field.
Deliver reliable systems and useful data from air, land and water.
Work Experience
Experience spanning engineering delivery, product development, training and research.
