About
Saber Kazeminasab is a robotics researcher whose work spans two compelling and socially impactful domains: wearable rehabilitation robotics and autonomous in-pipe robotic systems. He first gained recognition for his pioneering development of the ASR Glove, a lightweight, shape memory alloy-actuated hand exoskeleton designed to assist individuals with hand disabilities and support physiotherapy — a contribution that has garnered 78 citations and inspired subsequent work on force and motion control for tendon-driven systems. This line of research reflects his commitment to accessible, innovative assistive technology for physical rehabilitation. Kazeminasab has equally distinguished himself in the field of pipeline robotics, authoring a widely cited review (70 citations) on localization, mapping, navigation, and inspection methods for in-pipe robots — a comprehensive resource that has become a key reference for researchers in the field. His SmartCrawler system, capable of adapting to pipe sizes ranging from 9 to 22 inches, exemplifies his hands-on engineering contributions to water distribution system monitoring, integrating wireless communication, particle filter-based localization, and multi-phase motion control. Across his body of work, Kazeminasab demonstrates a rare ability to bridge theoretical rigor with practical, real-world robotic solutions addressing critical infrastructure and human health challenges.
