About

Igor Parkhomey is a robotics researcher whose work focuses on the design, modeling, and control of intelligent robotic systems for complex, real-world applications. His key research areas include the development of robot manipulators for space operations, mobile robots with arbitrary orientation capabilities, and flexible, anthropomorphic grippers for industrial use. Parkhomey’s major contributions include proposing a structural model for a robot-manipulator designed to capture non-cooperative client spacecraft, addressing the critical challenge of dynamic positioning errors in orbital servicing. He has also conducted experimental studies on reactive thrust mechanisms for mobile robots, enabling reliable adhesion to surfaces of any orientation, and has designed a novel flexible robot arm with an anthropomorphic gripper, supported by a mathematical model and experimental validation. His most cited work, “Identification information sensors of robot systems” (2019, 7 citations), explores sensor-based identification for robotic systems. With a total of over 20 citations across his top papers, Parkhomey’s research is advancing the frontiers of space robotics and industrial automation, offering practical solutions for capturing non-cooperative targets and enhancing robot mobility in challenging environments.
