About

Shruti Asthana is a robotics researcher whose work centers on bio-inspired manipulation and the mechanical design of dexterous robotic hands. Her key contributions lie in bridging the gap between human hand biomechanics and robotic actuation, with a particular focus on grasp analysis and simulation. Her most-cited paper, “Grasp analysis of a four-fingered robotic hand based on Matlab simmechanics” (2020, 10 citations), offers a foundational framework for modeling and evaluating multi-fingered grips using dynamic simulation tools. This work is notable for its systematic approach to replicating the complex interplay of bones, joints, tendons, and muscles that enables human-like dexterity. By providing a robust simulation environment, Asthana’s research aids in the development of more capable prosthetic and industrial robotic hands. Her achievements highlight a commitment to translating biological principles into engineering solutions, making her work a valuable resource for students and researchers in robotics and biomechanics. With a growing citation impact, Asthana continues to advance the field of robotic manipulation through rigorous analysis and practical simulation methodologies.
