About

P. Staroverov is a robotics researcher whose work has centered on the design, control, and practical application of humanoid and assistive robotic systems. Active primarily in the mid-2000s, Staroverov made notable contributions to the development of the Rh-0 humanoid robot at the University Carlos III of Madrid — a full-size, 21-degree-of-freedom platform standing 1,350 mm tall and weighing 40 kg, including onboard batteries and hardware. His most cited work, "Rh-0 Humanoid Full Size Robot's Control Strategy Based on the Lie Logic Technique" (2006, 10 citations), introduced an innovative distributed control architecture that advanced real-time motion management for complex humanoid systems. Complementary publications explored advanced motion control, mechanical design, dynamic analysis, and Zero Moment Point (ZMP) measurement — collectively offering a comprehensive engineering framework for bipedal locomotion. Staroverov also contributed to assistive robotics, co-authoring research on a lightweight autonomous climbing robot designed to support elderly and disabled individuals. With a focused body of work accumulating over 26 citations, his research reflects meaningful early-stage contributions to humanoid robotics and socially assistive technology during a pivotal period in the field's development.
