About

Stevan Stankovski’s research lies at the intersection of mechatronics, industrial automation, and RFID-enabled lifecycle tracking, with a strong emphasis on educational robotics. His most influential work, “RFID technology in product/part tracking during the whole life cycle” (25 citations), introduced a novel framework for identifying and tracing components from manufacturing through disassembly, advancing supply chain transparency and circular economy practices. In parallel, his highly cited study “Using a Didactic Manipulator in Mechatronics and Industrial Engineering Courses” (23 citations) demonstrated how integrating robot manipulators into curricula bridges theoretical knowledge with hands-on industrial skills—a contribution that has shaped modern engineering pedagogy. Stankovski is also recognized for pioneering FPGA-based control architectures, including a universal block for simplifying anthropomorphous robot control (2015) and a custom controller for the PUMA 560 robot (2013). His recent work, “What’s in the Box: Design of an Open Didactic Robot Environment” (2020), provides an accessible, open-source platform for research and education using the mathematically well-characterized PUMA 560. Through these contributions—spanning RFID tracking, didactic robotics, and FPGA control—Stankovski has built a legacy of practical, scalable solutions that empower both industry professionals and the next generation of engineers.
