About
Harri Eskelinen is a leading researcher in advanced robotics for extreme manufacturing environments, with a primary focus on the design and deployment of mobile parallel robots for nuclear fusion reactor assembly and maintenance. His most significant contributions lie in developing dexterous, heavy-duty robotic systems capable of performing complex tasks—such as machining, welding, and assembly—within the confined, high-radiation spaces of fusion reactors like ITER and DEMO. Eskelinen’s work on a seven-degrees-of-freedom mobile parallel robot for vacuum vessel assembly, as detailed in his highly cited 2020 paper (14 citations), demonstrates a novel approach that combines compact design with the ability to evacuate quickly and occupy minimal space. His subsequent 2021 paper (10 citations) advances this concept through multi-objective optimization, enhancing the robot’s dexterity for heavy-duty tasks. With a cumulative citation count exceeding 30 across his key publications, Eskelinen’s research is pivotal for enabling the next generation of fusion energy, solving critical challenges in remote handling and precision manufacturing. His work is essential reading for engineers and researchers in robotics, mechatronics, and nuclear engineering.
