About
Mohammad Poursina is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of multibody dynamics, robotic control, and rehabilitation engineering. His primary research areas include flexible multibody system dynamics, robust control under uncertainty, and the design and control of spherical robots for uneven terrains. Poursina’s most cited work, “An efficient direct differentiation approach for sensitivity analysis of flexible multibody systems” (46 citations), introduced a powerful method for analyzing how design changes affect system behavior, a critical tool for optimizing complex mechanical systems. He has also made significant contributions to robotic rehabilitation, designing an optimal Stewart platform for lower extremity therapy and developing robust computed torque control strategies that account for patient-specific uncertainties. His work on spherical robots, including dynamic modeling and energy analysis for uneven terrain navigation, addresses key challenges in search-and-rescue and agricultural robotics. With a recent focus on decentralized adaptive learning-based control for robot manipulators, Poursina continues to push the boundaries of intelligent, uncertainty-aware robotic systems, making his research highly relevant for students and engineers working at the frontier of robotics and multibody dynamics.
