About

Kedar Godbole’s research focuses on precision motion control, feedforward control algorithms, and the integration of real-time digital signal processing (DSP) for high-speed automation. His most cited work, "Optimal Input Shaper Design For High-Speed Robotic Workcells" (2003, 27 citations), addresses a critical challenge in advanced manufacturing: achieving micrometer-level placement accuracy at high speeds. Godbole developed robust feedforward control strategies to minimize residual vibration in robotic workcells, specifically for the NIST-ATP Precision Optoelectronics Assembly Consortium. This work demonstrated how optimal input shaping could maintain performance under varying load conditions, directly impacting the speed and precision of coarse-stage positioning systems. In a related study (15 citations), he further refined these techniques. Earlier, Godbole contributed to the development of a low-cost, PC/DSP-based motion control system using the Texas Instruments TMS320C31 floating-point processor (1998, 2 citations). This work established a practical framework for separating real-time control tasks from non-real-time user interfaces, making advanced motion control more accessible. His research remains relevant for engineers designing high-speed, high-precision robotic systems in electronics assembly and automation.
