About

Khaled Assad Arrouk is a robotics researcher whose work centers on the geometric and kinematic analysis of parallel robotic manipulators, with a particular focus on leveraging computer-aided design (CAD) environments as powerful analytical tools. His most significant contribution lies in developing CAD-based graphical methodologies that systematically address workspace characterization, singularity determination, and kinematic problem-solving for both planar and spherical parallel robots — areas traditionally reliant on complex algebraic approaches. Arrouk's most cited work (2015, 22 citations) introduced a unified graphical framework for tackling geometric and kinematic challenges in planar parallel manipulators, while his research on spherical parallel manipulators (2018, 16 citations) extended these techniques to more complex three-dimensional configurations. His earlier foundational studies, including workspace determination in CAD environments (2010) and geometric procedures for the 3-RPR manipulator (2012), established the core methodology that underpins his body of work. Notably, his doctoral research formalized CAD-based workspace characterization as a legitimate and efficient alternative to purely mathematical methods. With over 70 cumulative citations, Arrouk has made a meaningful contribution to robot design methodology, offering researchers and engineers more intuitive, geometry-driven tools for analyzing the performance and limitations of parallel robotic systems.
