About

Morris Riedel is a robotics researcher whose work centers on the design and control of reconfigurable parallel robotic systems, with a particular emphasis on grasp planning and underactuated mechanisms. His major contribution lies in the development of novel approaches for determining optimal grasp points on complex robotic structures, exemplified by his work on the PARAGRIP (Parallel Gripping) system—a reconfigurable parallel robot capable of manipulating objects across six-dimensional Cartesian space. This research addresses fundamental challenges in robotic manipulation, combining parallel kinematics with underactuated arm structures to enhance flexibility and efficiency. His most-cited paper, "Grasp planning for a reconfigurable parallel robot with an underactuated arm structure" (2010), has garnered 12 citations, reflecting its relevance in the field of robotic grasping and reconfigurable systems. Additionally, his work on motor positioning and drive train design for a 3-DOF robotic structure (2012) further demonstrates his expertise in the mechanical and control aspects of robotic systems. Riedel’s contributions are particularly valuable for advancing adaptive and versatile robotic manipulators, with potential applications in industrial automation and assistive robotics.
