About

Rashmi Arora is a robotics researcher whose work centers on hybrid manipulator design, trajectory tracking, and the biomechanical modeling of robotic systems. Her most cited paper, "Trajectory tracking through overwhelming control of human vertebrae as a hybrid manipulator" (2017, 7 citations), introduces a novel approach that models the human spine as a hybrid serial-parallel manipulator—bridging robotics and biomedical engineering to improve accuracy and workspace efficiency. This work is complemented by her 2018 study on trajectory tracking using human hand motion, which explores intuitive control interfaces for 3D hybrid manipulators. Arora has also contributed to the structural analysis of robotic arms, as seen in her 2020 paper "Design and Static Analysis of Robotic Arm using Ansys" (4 citations), where she evaluated stress and deformation in a five-degree-of-freedom arm. Her 2019 work on tread robot simulation on even and uneven surfaces further demonstrates her interest in locomotion and terrain adaptability. With a total of 19 citations across her most-cited papers, Arora’s research is foundational for developing more accurate, versatile, and human-inspired robotic systems, making her a notable figure in the intersection of robotics, control theory, and biomechanics.
