About

Mihaela Florescu is a pioneering researcher in the field of hyper-redundant robotics, with a primary focus on continuum robotic arms and their dynamic control systems. Her major contributions center on developing frequency stability criteria and boundary control methods for hyper-redundant robots that perform grasping functions through coiling. She has introduced innovative approaches using boundary observers and film sensors for measuring and controlling these complex systems, as well as exploring the use of electro-rheological fluids in flexible composite materials for continuum elements. Her most cited work, "Frequency criteria for the grasping control of a hyper-redundant robot" (2010, 20 citations), established foundational principles for position control during non-contact operations. Beyond robotics, Florescu has also contributed to multi-agent systems through Petri Net-based role selection mechanisms for soccer robots, and has recently expanded into the social implications of digital and green fabrication transformations in education and training. Her work on information security management systems adopting ISO/IEC 27001:2013 demonstrates versatility across engineering disciplines. With a career spanning from 2007 to the present, Florescu continues to advance the theoretical foundations and practical applications of continuum robotics.
