About

Reza Fotouhi-C. is a robotics researcher whose work focuses on the time-optimal control and trajectory planning of robotic manipulators. His major contributions lie in applying Pontryagin’s minimum principle to solve complex nonlinear control problems, specifically for rest-to-rest maneuvers of two-link rigid manipulators and double-arm robots. By combining trajectory planning with adaptive control and parameter identification, he has advanced the efficiency and precision of industrial robotic motion. His most cited papers, including “Trajectory Planning and Speed Control for a Two-Link Rigid Manipulator” and “A numerical approach for time-optimal control of double arms robot,” each have garnered 11 citations, reflecting steady interest from the mechanisms and robotics community. Notably, his work published in the *Journal of Mechanical Design* and his parametric studies on time-optimal maneuvers have provided foundational insights into minimizing maneuver time through both control strategies and structural design. Fotouhi-C.’s research is particularly valuable for students and engineers seeking to optimize robotic performance in manufacturing and automation, where speed and accuracy are critical.
