Areas of Research
- Robotics
- Parallel Manipulators
- Failure Recovery and Fault Tolerant Operation
Current research interest is the investigation and development of serial, parallel and wire-actuated manipulator designs; kinematic, stiffness and force solutions; and calibration methodologies allowing effective and failure safe implementation of the devices; and robotics. Specifically, studying the failure safe operation of parallel manipulators; consideration of potential use of redundancy in the design of parallel manipulators; development of techniques and solutions for the sensor and actuator fault detection and for the fault tolerant design and operation of parallel manipulators; and investigation of device geometric uncertainties and its calibration.
