About
Dafina Kikaj is a robotics researcher whose work centers on bipedal locomotion and humanoid robot control. Her most cited paper, "Trajectory Planning and Inverse Kinematics Solver for Real Biped Robot with 10 DOF-s" (2016, 11 citations), addresses the critical challenge of stability in two-legged walking robots. In this work, she presents a method for synthesizing planar biped gait on level ground, focusing on the single support phase—a key contribution to a field dense with publications. By developing trajectory planning and inverse kinematics solutions for a 10-degree-of-freedom biped, Kikaj provides practical tools for real robot implementation. Her research bridges theoretical kinematics and applied robotics, offering insights into maintaining dynamic balance during locomotion. While her citation count reflects a focused, emerging career, her work contributes to the foundational engineering required for stable humanoid walking, a cornerstone for future applications in assistive robotics and autonomous systems. Kikaj’s approach underscores the importance of precise mathematical modeling in achieving reliable bipedal movement.
