About

Martin Fusek is a robotics researcher whose work centers on the structural optimization and mechanical reliability of robotic systems, with a particular focus on mobile manipulators and additive manufacturing. His most impactful contribution is a 2020 study on the **topology optimization of a mobile robot manipulator arm**, designed for the European Rover Challenge (ERC) at VSB–TU Ostrava. This work, which has garnered 10 citations, provides a practical methodology for creating lightweight, high-strength robotic arms for competitive and field applications. Fusek has also advanced the understanding of **mechanical fasteners in 3D-printed materials**, experimentally and numerically investigating HELICOIL® inserts in ABS-M30 plastic to predict load-bearing capacity—a critical insight for durable, additively manufactured components. Additionally, his analysis of a welding robot’s structural integrity during emergency stops demonstrates his commitment to safety and robustness in industrial automation. Though his citation counts are modest, Fusek’s work bridges simulation and real-world testing, offering engineers validated tools for designing resilient robotic structures. His research is particularly valuable for students and practitioners in robotics, mechanical design, and additive manufacturing, where practical strength analysis and optimization are paramount.
