This laboratory is equipped with a number of powerful personal computers running under Windows.  All PCs are connected in a local network, and have access to the Internet.  A number of major engineering software necessary for mechanical modeling, simulation, and analysis have been installed on these computers.

Some researches which have been done are: 

• Kinematics /kinetics modeling and analysis of the human knee joints.

• Force and impedance control of flexible robotics arms.

• Modeling and simulation of jumping process of a two-legged robot.

• Modeling and identification of an underwater vehicle equipped with a manipulator arm.

• Stability analysis of mobile manipulators.

• Design and fabrication of control system for an underwater ROV equipped with two D.O.F. manipulator.

• Design and fabrication of a master/slave manipulator.

• Visual servo control of a robotic arm in an underwater ROV.

• Attitude control of micro-satellites.

Also some recent research topics being investigated are:

• Duality of Locomotion and Manipulation

The graduate research assistants working and investigating on the topics at the moment are:

• Seyyed Mohammad Hosseini Lavasani, Ph.D. student

• Alireza Nemati, Ph.D. student

• Alireza Taheri, Ph.D. student
