About

Muhammad Yakob is a robotics researcher focused on developing affordable, accessible assistive technologies and industrial automation solutions. His work centers on two key areas: bionic prosthetics and intelligent robotic manipulation. Yakob’s most cited paper, “Telecontrol of Prosthetic Robot Hand Using Myo Armband” (2021, 9 citations), addresses the critical barrier of cost in bionic prosthetic arms. By demonstrating how a commercially available Myo armband can wirelessly control a prosthetic hand, he proposes a low-cost alternative to expensive market options, potentially expanding access for upper-limb amputees. His second highly cited work, “Development of Colour Sorting Robotic Arm Using TCS3200 Sensor” (2021, 7 citations), tackles industrial efficiency. Yakob designed a robotic arm capable of autonomously sorting objects by color, replacing slower, error-prone human labor in high-volume production lines. This work showcases his ability to apply sensor integration and control systems to real-world manufacturing challenges. With a combined 16 citations from these two papers, Yakob’s research demonstrates a clear impact: bridging the gap between advanced robotics and practical, cost-effective applications in both healthcare and industry.
