About
Soheil Arastehfar is a researcher at the intersection of bio-inspired robotics and intelligent manufacturing systems. His primary research areas include biomimetic underwater propulsion, robot kinematics, and automated decision-making for manufacturing. Arastehfar’s most impactful work focuses on understanding the hydrodynamics of manta rays’ flapping pectoral fins. His 2018 paper, cited 38 times, establishes a critical relationship between the sweep angle of these fins and thrust generation, providing foundational design principles for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). He further advanced this field in 2020 by investigating how root chord movement affects thrust, demonstrating that complex fin kinematics are key to high-performance robotic manta rays. Beyond bio-robotics, Arastehfar has contributed to eliminating redundancy and singularity in robot path planning, and has proposed a structured decision-making framework to automate cognitively demanding manufacturing tasks. His work bridges fundamental biomechanics with practical engineering, offering valuable insights for students and researchers developing efficient, nature-inspired robotic systems and intelligent automation solutions.
