I have expertise in developing a new machine/robot from A to Z, including topology design, design optimization, kinematics and dynamics modeling, fabrication, gravity compensation, control and HMI development, kinematic calibration, and dynamic parameter identification. I also modeled the dynamics of a hybrid-propulsion quadrotor, worked with mobile robots, developed an autonomous vision-based robotic manipulation system, programmed robots for autonomy by using ROS, MoveIt, OpenCV, PCL, YOLO, and other tools, modeled a rotating system by using finite elements with order reduction and developed LQR & ANFIS controllers to suppress the vibration of the rotating system. Recently I have worked on developing novel mobile, reconfigurable hybrid-kinematics robots for manufacturing and maintenance of large structures. Currently I am working on developing novel robots for underwater manufacturing and maintenance tasks.
Having attended a 50/50 dual-training at a vocational high school for 3.5 years and subsequently worked as a mechanical technician in my early career, I have strong hands-on skills in manufacturing processes. I also have experience in CAD/CAM/CAE, web development, and higher education teaching activities.
Specialties: robotics, parallel robots, hybrid serial-parallel robots, control, mechanical engineering design, applied mechanics, finite element analysis, multibody dynamics, vibration, rotordynamics.
