About

Snezana Djuric is a researcher specializing in sensor engineering, robotics, and electromagnetic measurement systems, with particular expertise in the development of inductive and planar displacement sensors for humanoid robotic applications. Her most significant contributions center on the design, simulation, and implementation of planar meander-coil sensors capable of detecting minute displacements — typically less than 0.5 mm — in multiple axes simultaneously, enabling precise measurement of ground reaction forces in robotic feet. Djuric's foundational 2009 work on inductive displacement sensors, her most cited contribution with 19 citations, demonstrated the viability of dual-element sensor configurations for independently resolving vertical and horizontal displacements, a critical capability for stable humanoid locomotion. Building on this, her 2011 study on planar meander sensors (11 citations) validated their real-world performance as ground reaction force detectors installed directly in robot foot structures. Her 2010 paper further advanced the field by presenting a miniaturized sensor variant, broadening practical deployment possibilities. Across her body of work, Djuric has consistently bridged electromagnetic sensor theory with applied robotics engineering, contributing simulation algorithms alongside hardware implementations. Her research provides foundational tools for improving force sensing precision in humanoid robots, a challenge central to advancing autonomous robotic mobility.
