About
Slobodan Lubura is a leading researcher in open-architecture industrial robot control, with a primary focus on the PUMA 560 platform. His major contributions center on democratizing advanced robotics through open-source hardware and software solutions, particularly using FPGA-based controllers. His most cited work (2020, 12 citations) presents two complete open-architecture approaches for PUMA 560 control, providing full design specifications and code—a critical resource for research laboratories and educational institutions. Lubura pioneered a universal block design (2015, 5 citations) that simplifies FPGA-based controller implementation for anthropomorphous robots, enabling rapid prototyping in Matlab with Altera chips. His closed-loop control implementation for single robot axes on FPGA (2012, 10 citations) demonstrated real-time performance capabilities. With over 40 cumulative citations, Lubura’s work has significantly impacted robotics education by making sophisticated control systems accessible. His didactic robot environment (2020, 3 citations) exemplifies his commitment to open educational resources, providing a complete, replicable platform for teaching robot kinematics and control. Through these contributions, Lubura has established himself as a key figure in bridging the gap between industrial robotics and open-source research.
