About

Fatemeh Panahi is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of robotics, automated manufacturing, and computational geometry, with a primary focus on path planning and metrology. Her most influential contributions address the challenge of multi-objective path planning in discrete spaces, a problem critical for autonomous navigation and industrial automation. Her 2012 paper on this topic has garnered 91 citations, establishing a foundation for optimizing routes that balance competing factors like safety, efficiency, and energy consumption. In 2015, she extended this work with a study on generating clear and smooth paths—essential for real-world robotic movement—which has accumulated 65 citations. Beyond path planning, Panahi has contributed to metrology, the science of measurement, with a 2013 paper introducing an efficient proximity probing algorithm. This work addresses the practical challenge of using measurement devices to determine geometric properties of unknown objects, with direct applications in inspection and surveying. Her research demonstrates a consistent ability to solve complex spatial problems with practical implications, making her a notable figure in computational geometry and robotics.
