About

Dr. Malek A. Mortaja is a robotics and automation researcher whose work bridges mechanical design, control systems, and industrial applications. His most cited paper, "Palletizing Manipulator Design and Control Using Arduino and MATLAB" (2017, 4 citations), presents a complete framework for developing robotic manipulators—from mechanical design to forward and inverse kinematics—using accessible, low-cost platforms. This work demonstrates his commitment to making advanced robotics practical and reproducible, particularly for industrial tasks like palletizing. Mortaja’s contributions lie at the intersection of theoretical kinematics and hands-on implementation, offering a model for integrating Arduino-based control with MATLAB for real-time robot motion. His research supports the growing demand for affordable, scalable automation solutions in manufacturing and logistics. By focusing on both design and control, Mortaja provides a valuable resource for students and engineers seeking to develop functional robotic systems. His work continues to influence the development of cost-effective manipulators, with potential applications in small-to-medium enterprises and educational robotics labs.
