About

Dr. Zulkeflee Abdullah is a robotics researcher whose work lies at the intersection of human-robot interaction, assistive technology, and precision mechatronics. His research primarily focuses on developing robotic systems that enhance human capabilities, from assistive social robots for elder care to dexterous robotic hands for industrial applications. His most cited work, a 2022 review on the usability and user experience of assistive social robots for older persons (13 citations), addresses a critical challenge in human-robot interaction: designing robots that provide meaningful physical and cognitive support while remaining intuitive and acceptable to elderly users. Dr. Abdullah has also made significant contributions to robotic manipulation and control. His work on point-to-point control of upper limb robotic arms (5 citations) aims to optimize precision motion and high-speed response, while his research on underactuated dexterous robotic hands (3 citations) explores 3D-printed designs with multiple degrees of freedom for safer industrial environments. Through this body of work, Dr. Abdullah is advancing both the technical performance and the human-centered design of robotic systems, bridging the gap between precise automation and compassionate care.
