About

Artem Apurin is a robotics researcher whose work centers on mobile robot locomotion, simulation, and human-robot collaboration. His primary contributions lie in the design and modeling of omnidirectional robotic platforms, particularly those using mecanum wheels for enhanced maneuverability in constrained environments. Apurin’s most cited paper, “Comparison of ROS Local Planners for a Holonomic Robot in Gazebo Simulator” (2023, 7 citations), systematically evaluates navigation algorithms for holonomic robots, providing a practical benchmark for researchers. He also developed the “LIRS-ArtBul” modular omnidirectional chassis (2022, 6 citations), emphasizing real-world construction and modeling. His work on virtual simulation is further extended in “Omniwheel Chassis’ Model and Plugin for Gazebo Simulator” (2023, 5 citations), which enables high-fidelity testing of omniwheel robots. Notably, Apurin addresses safety in collaborative robotics through pilot experiments with the AR601M humanoid robot in Gazebo (2023, 2 citations), proposing a virtual prototyping stage to mitigate injury risks before physical trials. With a total of 20 citations across his top papers, Apurin’s research is foundational for advancing agile, safe robotic systems in human-centered spaces.
