About
Naser Mostashiri is a robotics and biomechanics researcher whose work sits at the compelling intersection of parallel robot mechanics and human jaw physiology. He has established himself as a leading voice in redundantly actuated parallel robots (RAPRs), authoring a widely cited 2018 review in IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics that has accumulated 40 citations and systematically mapped the advantages, limitations, and future applications of this robot class. His most distinctive contribution lies in applying RAPR technology to biomedical problems — specifically, developing sophisticated chewing robots that simulate human mandibular motion to study temporomandibular joint (TMJ) reaction forces. Through rigorous Lagrangian dynamics formulations, Jacobian analyses, and disturbance observer-based control strategies, Mostashiri's research has enabled in-vitro investigation of TMJ loading during food mastication, offering new pathways for understanding temporomandibular disorders whose etiology remains poorly understood. His more recent work integrates vision systems and surface electromyography to validate masticatory robot performance. Collectively, his publication record — spanning kinematics, inverse dynamics, and biomimetic robotics — reflects a researcher who bridges advanced mechanical theory with meaningful clinical and food science applications, accumulating over 90 citations across his career.
