About

Tomasz Malinowski is a robotics researcher whose primary focus lies in the design and control of bipedal and walking robots. His most significant contribution is a comprehensive review of bipedal walking robots, which has garnered over 100 citations and serves as a key reference for researchers in the field. This work synthesizes advances in gait, drive systems, sensors, and control, highlighting both human-inspired and avian-inspired locomotion strategies. Beyond review work, Malinowski has made practical contributions through the development of novel, simplified walking robot prototypes. Notably, he has designed and built 3D-printed and prototype models with four degrees of freedom, capable of walking on flat surfaces, rotating, and climbing stairs—all without relying on complex bionic patterns. These hands-on projects, published between 2014 and 2015, demonstrate his commitment to accessible, functional robotics. His work on the elevated temperature forming of 17-4PH steel for turbine engine struts further showcases his versatility in mechanical engineering. With a career spanning both theoretical reviews and tangible robot construction, Malinowski’s research offers valuable insights for students and engineers interested in practical, low-complexity walking robot design.
