About
Hr. Farhang’s research lies at the intersection of robotics and human motor control, with a particular focus on understanding how the upper limbs coordinate movement. His most cited work, “Design of a planar parallel robot to investigate human arm point to point reaching movement” (2015), introduces a novel planar parallel manipulandum—a five-link, two-degree-of-freedom robotic platform operating in the vertical plane. This device was specifically engineered to apply precise external forces to a subject’s hand during reaching tasks, enabling the study of human motor learning and adaptation in a controlled, interactive setting. By designing a robot that can perturb or assist movement in real time, Farhang’s contribution provides a valuable tool for researchers in neuroscience, rehabilitation, and biomechanics. Though his citation count is modest, the work’s methodological significance is clear: it bridges engineering design with experimental motor control, offering a reproducible platform for investigating how the brain plans and corrects point-to-point arm movements. This achievement underscores Farhang’s role in advancing robotic interfaces for human movement science, making his research a practical resource for students and scientists exploring sensorimotor control and rehabilitation robotics.
