About
T. Stepien is a researcher in robotics and manufacturing automation, with a primary focus on force control systems for industrial applications. Stepien’s most significant contribution is the development of a microprocessor-based control system that precisely manages tool/workpiece contact forces, specifically designed for robotic deburring processes. This system operates in parallel with a robot’s existing controller, calculating real-time position corrections to enable accurate force regulation during machining tasks. The work, published in 2005, has accumulated 14 citations, reflecting its relevance to researchers and engineers working on adaptive robotic manipulation and precision manufacturing. Stepien’s approach addresses a critical challenge in automated deburring—maintaining consistent contact force to ensure quality while preventing tool or workpiece damage. By integrating force control with articulated robot kinematics, this research has practical implications for improving efficiency and reliability in industrial finishing operations. Stepien’s contributions support the broader field of robotic force control, offering a foundation for further advancements in human-robot collaboration and automated material removal.
