About
Jelena Radojicic’s research lies at the intersection of robot mechanics, human-robot interaction, and biologically inspired design, with a particular focus on cable-driven and modular robotic systems. Her major contributions include pioneering geometric stiffness analysis for wire robots—a mechanical approach that has become foundational for understanding the stability and control of these lightweight, large-workspace manipulators. She has also advanced the field of haptic interaction through robust control strategies that ensure stable, oscillation-free rendering of virtual environments, addressing a critical challenge in haptic systems. Her work on modular hybrid robots, featuring pneumatic artificial muscles and rubber bellows actuators, introduces intrinsic safety and variable stiffness control, enabling safer human-robot collaboration. Notably, her 2012 paper on geometric stiffness analysis and her 2007 work on haptic control each have garnered 24 citations, underscoring their lasting impact. Radojicic has also explored novel concepts such as modeling a robot’s “psycho-physical” state to enhance human-robot communication, and applied cable-robot technology to agricultural settings. Her research continues to influence the design of safe, adaptive, and human-like robotic systems.
