About

Morteza Shariatee is a robotics engineer and researcher whose work spans industrial robot design, parallel manipulators, and human-robot collaboration, with particular expertise in mechanical systems developed at the Ferdowsi University of Mashhad (FUM) in Iran. He is perhaps best known for leading the design and construction of the FUM SCARA robot, a cost-effective industrial manipulator that earned 45 citations for its innovative approach to economical robot engineering. His subsequent investigation into the repeatability analysis of SCARA robots with planetary gearboxes (20 citations) advanced practical understanding of precision standards outlined in ISO 9283, offering transparency where commercial manufacturers typically remain silent. Shariatee's research has progressively expanded into more complex robotic architectures, including a parametric, multi-objective optimization framework for 6-PUS parallel manipulators (35 citations) and optimized dynamic design of Stewart platforms featuring symmetric weight compensation systems. His work on pneumatic weight compensation reflects a practical drive to replace costly hydraulic systems in motion simulators. Notably, he has also contributed to human-robot safety, developing a Kinect-based computer vision method for safe human-SCARA collaboration. Collectively, his portfolio of over 130 citations reflects a consistent commitment to bridging theoretical design with real-world industrial application.
