About

A. Khurshid’s research sits at the intersection of robotics, mechatronics, and dynamic systems, with a central focus on enhancing robotic manipulation through soft, adaptive contact. His most influential work, “Robotic Grasping and Fine Manipulation Using Soft Fingertip” (21 citations), demonstrates how deformable fingertips dramatically expand a robot’s ability to achieve stable, encompassing grasps by leveraging a richer space of frictional forces and moments—a principle that bridges human dexterity and robotic design. This contribution is foundational for developing more capable, human-like robotic hands. Khurshid also advanced the modeling of complex, multi-domain mechatronic systems through bond graph techniques (9 citations), providing engineers with a unified framework to simulate integrated mechanical and electronic components. More recently, his work on a humanoid hand incorporating joint friction and viscoelastic grasping (3 citations) combines computer-aided design with multibody dynamics to create more realistic, controllable robotic appendages. By systematically addressing the challenges of soft contact, friction, and multi-domain dynamics, Khurshid’s research offers practical pathways toward robots that can grasp and manipulate objects with the subtlety and reliability needed for real-world tasks.
