Research EXPERIENCES

Since Jan 2019

Research Assistant at Motion Research Group, University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada

Sep 2014- Sep 2018

Research Assistant at Human and Robot Interaction Lab.(TaarLab), University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran.

      • Dynamic modeling and base inertial parameters determination.

      • Screw theory based kinematic and singularity analysis.

      • Model-based control of a stabilizing mechanism.

      • Design, development and control of a Delta robot with PLC for pick and place applications.

      • Collision-free workspace determination.

      • Development of a fast Triangle-to-Triangle intersection test algorithm.

2013 – 2016 (Occasionally)

Research collaboration (Distance work from Iran) with The Institute for Intelligent Systems Research and Innovation (IISRI), Deakin University, Waurn Ponds, Australia.

      • While I was a BSc student at the University of Tabriz, I started my collaboration with a team of researchers at Deakin University and helped them in obtaining the kinematic and dynamic model of two parallel mechanisms.
