About
Richardo Khonasty is a robotics researcher dedicated to developing intelligent robotic systems that collaborate with humans in physically demanding and high-risk environments. His primary research areas span physical human-robot collaboration (pHRI), industrial robotics, and medical robotics. Khonasty’s most notable contribution is the **ANBOT**, an intelligent robotic co-worker for industrial abrasive blasting, which shields workers from large forces during this strenuous task (19 citations). He also pioneered the **Wallbot** and **QUENDA-BOT**, low-cost autonomous robots for green wall maintenance and screw-fixing in timber construction, addressing urban sustainability and construction safety. In the medical domain, Khonasty has explored robotic-assisted total hip replacement, developing less-invasive, low-cost systems for acetabular preparation and burring techniques. His work on damping strategies for managing singularities during pHRI (9 citations) and upper body pose estimation using kinematic constraints further demonstrates his commitment to safe, intuitive human-robot interaction. With a multi-stage design framework for task-specific exoskeletons, Khonasty’s research consistently aims to reduce physical strain and injury risk across industries, making him a key figure in advancing collaborative robotics for real-world applications.
