About

N. Yu. Kozlova is a researcher specializing in haptic interfaces, space robotics, and control systems for autonomous manipulation. Her work bridges the gap between human-robot interaction and orbital servicing, with a focus on force feedback and remote control under challenging conditions. In her most-cited paper (2018, 10 citations), she proposed a non-linear local force feedback control for haptic interfaces, achieving low inertia during free motion and high transparency during contact—a key contribution to teleoperation realism. She further advanced this in her 2019 study (5 citations) on free-flying space manipulation robots, introducing a passivation method for time-domain passivity approach (TDPA) to handle variable delays in data channels, critical for reliable remote control in orbit. Her 2021 work (2 citations) developed a mathematical model for approaching non-cooperative spacecraft, using multicriteria optimization for two-level control systems. Most recently (2023, 1 citation), she algorithmized guidance and motion control for space manipulation robots tasked with servicing defunct satellites, addressing the growing need for orbital debris mitigation. Kozlova’s research is foundational for next-generation autonomous space systems, combining theoretical rigor with practical applications in haptics and space robotics.
