About

A. N. Sukhanov is a robotics researcher whose work spans mobile robotics, microrobotics, and human-robot interaction, with a particular focus on challenging locomotion problems in complex environments. Sukhanov has made notable contributions to the design of wall-climbing robots, developing vacuum-based attachment systems capable of navigating vertical surfaces, slopes, ceilings, and even underwater environments, while addressing the destabilizing effects of aerodynamic forces and external vibrations. His research into thermomechanical actuators for legged microrobots demonstrates a breadth of interest in novel actuation strategies at small scales. A recurring theme throughout his work is multi-robot coordination: Sukhanov has investigated group control systems for unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) tasked with collaboratively transporting payloads across varied and rugged terrain, developing algorithms robust to differing surface adhesion characteristics. His research also extends into human-exoskeleton interaction, reflecting an interest in assistive and wearable robotics. With publications accumulating citations across international venues since at least 2014, Sukhanov's body of work collectively addresses some of the most demanding mobility challenges in modern robotics, bridging theoretical analysis with practical system design.
