About
Mojtaba Shahmohammadi is a rising researcher in robotic manipulation and prosthetic design, focusing on creating adaptive, lightweight, and cost-effective end-effectors. His work centers on underactuated mechanisms, soft robotics, and muscle-machine interfaces, with major contributions to differential transmission systems that enable prosthetic hands to grasp diverse objects using minimal motors. His 2021 paper "On Differential Mechanisms for Underactuated, Lightweight, Adaptive Prosthetic Hands" (16 citations) and its companion on series elastic differential mechanisms (10 citations) have established foundational designs for compact, adaptive grippers. Shahmohammadi has also pioneered novel approaches to challenging manipulation tasks, including robotic handling of flexible flat cables using a multi-modal gripper with dexterous tips and reconfigurable suction (8 citations), and developed disposable, kirigami-inspired soft grippers for delicate and contaminated objects (8 citations). His recent work on multi-grasp classification using transformers and lightmyography signals (2023) advances intuitive muscle-machine interfaces for prosthetic control. Through these innovations, Shahmohammadi bridges the gap between rigid and soft robotics, demonstrating how clever mechanical design can reduce complexity while maintaining versatility—a critical step toward practical, affordable prosthetic and industrial grippers.
