abstract

ARAS Research group established in 1997 and is proud of its 20+ years of brilliant contributions to the advancement of academic education and research in the field of robotics. We are currently conducting research in four different themes. Parallel and Cable Robotics, Surgical Robtocis, Autonomous Robotics, and Dynamical Systems Analysis and Control. In this talk, the recent research outcomes of the first two research themes are presented.

biography

Hamid D. Taghirad has received his B.Sc. degree in mechanical engineering from Sharif University of Technology, Tehran, Iran, in 1989, is M.Sc. in mechanical engineering in 1993, and his PhD in electrical engineering in 1997, both from McGill University, Montreal, Canada.

He is currently Prof. and the Dean of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, and the Director of the Advanced Robotics an Automated System (ARAS) lab at K.N. Toosi University of Technology, Tehran, Iran.
