About
Saeed Bornassi is a robotics researcher whose work focuses on improving robot safety and performance through novel mechanical design. His primary research area centers on developing advanced damping mechanisms to mitigate impact forces in robotic systems. In his most-cited work, "Joints with angle dependent damping can help to reduce impact forces in robots" (2025), Bornassi introduces an innovative fluid-viscous angle-dependent damper that dynamically adjusts damping characteristics by smoothly varying the clearance between stationary and moving components. This design represents a significant contribution to the field of compliant robotics, offering a new approach to reducing collision forces without sacrificing joint mobility or control precision. Through analytical modeling and numerical simulations, he has demonstrated the effectiveness of his approach, providing both theoretical foundations and practical validation. While his citation count is still growing, reflecting the recent publication of his work, Bornassi’s research holds promise for applications in human-robot interaction, collaborative robotics, and any domain where safe, controlled motion is critical. His work exemplifies the intersection of mechanical ingenuity and robotic functionality, positioning him as an emerging voice in the development of safer, more adaptable robotic systems.
