About

Salman Alimardani is a robotics engineer whose work centers on the design, construction, and performance analysis of industrial robotic systems, with a particular focus on SCARA robots. His major contributions lie in the development of the FUM SCARA, an economical yet high-performance robot designed and built by a student team at Ferdowsi University of Mashhad. Alimardani’s research addresses the critical gap between academic design and industrial application, emphasizing mechanical design processes that achieve both cost-effectiveness and precision. His most cited work, “Design of an economical SCARA robot for industrial applications” (45 citations), details the mechanical design of the FUM SCARA, highlighting its inherent rigidity and accuracy. He further advanced the field through a repeatability analysis of the robot with a planetary gearbox (20 citations), providing insights into a key industrial metric often opaque in commercial specifications. Additionally, his design of a novel linear-rotary joint (10 citations) for the FUM SCARA demonstrates innovation in robotic joint mechanisms. Notably, the FUM SCARA achieves an impressive ±0.015 mm repeatability in the XYZ plane, underscoring Alimardani’s impact on accessible, high-precision robotics for industrial applications.
