About

Yedige Tlegenov is a researcher advancing low-cost, open-source robotics, with a focus on gripper design and digital manufacturing. His major contributions center on developing accessible robotic end effectors for research and education. His most-cited work, "A Low-Cost Open-Source 3-D-Printed Three-Finger Gripper Platform for Research and Educational Purposes" (68 citations), provides a widely adopted platform for robot grasping studies. He further innovated with "An open-source 3D printed underactuated robotic gripper" (41 citations) and "An underactuated adaptive 3D printed robotic gripper" (24 citations), introducing underactuated mechanisms and a breakaway clutch for adaptive grasping. These designs reduce costs and complexity, enabling broader access to robotics experimentation. Tlegenov also explored human-robot interaction in low-cost digital manufacturing ("An Application of HRI in Low-Cost Digital Manufacturing," 6 citations). His work has garnered over 148 total citations, demonstrating significant impact in democratizing robotic hardware. By prioritizing open-source, 3D-printed solutions, Tlegenov empowers students and researchers to engage in hands-on robotics, fostering innovation in grasping and manipulation.
