About
Artur Gmerek is a robotics researcher whose work centers on rehabilitation robotics, human-robot interaction, and inspection robotics. His major contributions lie in the development of control systems and mechanical designs for upper-extremity rehabilitation robots, including exoskeletons and orthoses. He has advanced admittance and impedance control strategies for electric-driven robots, enabling safer and more responsive human-robot interaction during therapy. His research also explores the integration of virtual reality systems and EMG data for enhanced patient training and dexterous control. Notably, Gmerek has contributed to the design of a 12-degree-of-freedom upper-limb exoskeleton and the ARR-1 semi-exoskeleton rehabilitation robot. Beyond rehabilitation, he has worked on a mooring chain climbing robot for nondestructive testing (NDT) inspection, addressing safety and cost challenges in maritime applications. His most cited work, on admittance control of a BLDC motor-actuated robotic arm, has garnered 9 citations, reflecting its relevance in the field. Gmerek’s interdisciplinary approach—spanning control theory, mechanical design, and virtual reality—positions him as a key contributor to assistive and inspection robotics.
