About

A.R.M. Fashandi is a researcher whose work has made meaningful contributions to the fields of robot reliability, safety engineering, and probabilistic systems analysis. Best known for the 2002 review paper "Robot Systems Reliability and Safety," which has garnered 73 citations, Fashandi systematically organized the existing body of literature into a comprehensive taxonomic framework encompassing robot safety, reliability, and related topics — providing an invaluable reference for engineers and researchers navigating this multidisciplinary field. His 1997 paper on safety and reliability assessment techniques, cited 50 times, demonstrated his early and sustained engagement with practical analytical methods such as failure mode and effects analysis and fault tree analysis as applied to robotic systems. Fashandi further explored probabilistic and stochastic approaches to evaluating robotic performance, including availability and redundancy modeling in systems equipped with duplicate safety units. Taken together, his body of work reflects a researcher dedicated to building rigorous, quantitative frameworks for understanding how robots can fail — and how they can be made safer and more dependable — at a time when industrial robotics was rapidly expanding and such foundational scholarship was critically needed.
