About

Boris Sokolov is a leading researcher in the field of robotics and remote control systems, with a particular focus on overcoming the challenges of time-delayed teleoperation. His work centers on the dynamic analysis and structural design of control systems for space robots, where signal delays between ground stations and orbital platforms can severely compromise performance. Sokolov's most influential contribution, "Robot master slave and supervisory control with large time delays of control signals and feedback" (2016), has garnered 36 citations and lays the groundwork for stable, efficient human-robot interaction over vast distances. In a subsequent highly cited paper (24 citations), he presents a novel two-stage remote control architecture that ensures system efficiency despite significant transmission lags—a critical advancement for space exploration. His 2018 work on biotechnical position-velocity control systems, featuring animated simulation, further demonstrates his commitment to bridging theoretical analysis with practical, visualizable solutions. By addressing the fundamental problem of latency in space robotics, Sokolov’s research directly supports the future of autonomous and supervisory control in extraterrestrial environments, making him a key figure in the evolution of remote manipulation technology.
