About

Marek Teichmann is a roboticist whose work spans grasping, manipulation, and co-simulation, with a particular focus on geometric and model-based approaches to robotic contact tasks. His early research established foundational algorithms for optimal grasp synthesis, including a novel O(n² log n)-time algorithm for computing optimal three-finger planar grasps on arbitrary polygons—work that connected grasping theory to fixturing and immobilization problems in manufacturing. Teichmann also pioneered reactive grasping strategies, equipping standard parallel-jaw grippers with light-beam sensors to enable real-time adaptation to unknown objects, a contribution that has accumulated 20 citations. More recently, his research has advanced co-simulation techniques for complex robotic systems, developing model-based coupling methods and reduced interface models to handle flexible mechanical systems with contacts—addressing critical challenges in modular, multi-tool simulation environments. His work on blended linear models for compliant structures further demonstrates his ability to balance computational efficiency with physical accuracy. With a career spanning from geometric grasp theory to modern co-simulation frameworks, Teichmann’s contributions remain relevant for researchers working on dexterous manipulation, fixture design, and real-time robotic control.
