About

Mykyta Taranov is a robotics researcher specializing in the design and control of mobile robots capable of navigating challenging ferromagnetic surfaces. His work focuses on advancing wheel-mover mechanisms that enable robots to operate on inclined and vertical metal structures, with applications in ship repair, firefighting, welding inspection, and rescue operations. Taranov’s key contributions include developing methods to reduce the number of actuators in magnetically-operated wheel-movers, simplifying control systems while maintaining reliable adhesion and mobility. His research also extends to remote IoT-based control systems for caterpillar robots, integrating wireless monitoring and automation for hazardous environments. With papers such as “Advanced approaches to reduce number of actors in a magnetically-operated wheel-mover” (5 citations) and “Remote IoT-based Control System of the Mobile Caterpillar Robot” (5 citations), Taranov’s work has laid foundational models for robot behavior on ferromagnetic surfaces, as seen in his 2018 study (3 citations). His investigations continue to push the boundaries of autonomous surface-climbing robotics, offering practical solutions for industrial automation and safety-critical operations.
