Mohammad Khalifah
Technical Team Lead · AI & Robotics Engineer
I design and integrate industrial robot systems end to end — ROS 2, computer vision, and the software that lets people actually use them.
Mechatronics engineer (Al-Balqa Applied University, 2024) based in Amman. At Cyber Robot I lead a technical team delivering robotics, AI and web systems — from system design and task planning to hands-on integration. I also teach ROS 2 and industrial AI to universities and industry chambers.
