About

Farah Kanwal’s research centers on the design and development of robotic manipulators and grippers, with a focus on enhancing industrial automation through mechanical simplicity and fault tolerance. Her most cited work, “Design of a 3 DoF robotic arm” (2016, 16 citations), explores how serial robotic arms achieve manipulability and dexterity through redundancy, addressing critical challenges in joint fault tolerance for industrial applications. This contribution provides foundational insights into optimizing robotic performance under real-world constraints. In her earlier study, “Design and development of a prototype robotic gripper” (2014, 6 citations), Kanwal demonstrates practical engineering by fabricating a stepper motor-controlled gripper with one degree of freedom for linear motion, tailored for handling small objects in manufacturing settings. Together, these works underscore her ability to bridge theoretical design principles with tangible prototyping, offering cost-effective solutions for automation. While her citation counts reflect a growing niche impact, Kanwal’s contributions are notable for their direct applicability to industrial robotics, particularly in simplifying complex systems for reliability. Her research remains a valuable resource for students and engineers seeking accessible, fault-tolerant designs in robotic manipulation.
