About

Jaqueline Bernal is a robotics researcher whose work centers on the kinematic modeling, control, and analysis of parallel robotic mechanisms. Her primary contributions lie in advancing the understanding and practical application of the Hexapod parallel robot—a 6-3-PUS-type manipulator produced by Quanser Inc. Her most influential paper, "Kinematic modeling and control of the Hexapod parallel robot" (2016), with 12 citations, provides foundational insights into the structure and control of this six-legged platform, which consists of two triangular bodies connected by six kinematic chains. Bernal has also made significant contributions to the theoretical foundations of robotics through her analysis of Denavit-Hartenberg (D-H) parameters (2019), clarifying conventions essential for modeling robot kinematics and dynamics. Her work on modeling and motion control of the Hexapod mechanism (2018) further extends practical control strategies for these complex systems. While her citation counts reflect a developing career, Bernal’s research is notable for bridging theoretical kinematic frameworks with real-world parallel robot applications, offering valuable resources for students and researchers in robotics, mechatronics, and control engineering.
