About

Nikolaj Starodubcev is a robotics researcher focused on the intersection of embedded control systems, computer vision, and mechatronic design. His work centers on developing decentralized, microcontroller-based architectures for small-scale manipulation robots and prosthetic devices. In his most cited study (2023, 4 citations), Starodubcev introduced a laboratory layout for a mobile manipulation robot featuring a remote-controlled, modular control system with integrated computer vision. He also pioneered an algorithm for the ESP32-CAM to operate in HTTP server mode for real-time video streaming (2022, 4 citations), a key enabler for low-cost, IoT-connected mobile robots. His research extends to biomedical engineering, where he proposed a structural diagram and control system for a robotic prosthetic hand (2022, 2 citations), applying classical feedback control principles to improve functionality. Starodubcev’s contributions are notable for their practical, hands-on approach—emphasizing cost-effective, accessible hardware solutions that bridge the gap between academic robotics and real-world deployment. His work is particularly valuable for students and engineers seeking to implement vision-based control on resource-constrained platforms.
