About
Miguel Neves is a researcher at the intersection of robotics and aerospace engineering, whose work spans adaptive grasping strategies, human-robot collaboration, and flight safety systems. His most cited paper (18 citations) introduces an adaptive compliant multi-finger approach-to-grasp strategy that enables robotic hands to handle object position uncertainties, significantly improving autonomous grasping performance. In the emerging field of human-robot collaboration, his 2024 benchmarking study (15 citations) provides crucial frameworks for evaluating collaborative assembly tasks, addressing the challenge of balancing automation with human skill. Neves has also made notable contributions to aviation safety through his development of physics-based adaptive flight envelope protection algorithms (14 and 11 citations), which help maintain aircraft control even under failure conditions—work supported by a Marie Curie International Outgoing Fellowship and the European ACROSS project. His latest research extends to space exploration, proposing the Navball as an intuitive avionic instrument for manual lunar landings, drawing lessons from Apollo missions. This diverse portfolio demonstrates Neves’s ability to apply physical modeling and adaptive control principles across domains, from manufacturing to aerospace, with growing impact in both academic and applied engineering contexts.
