About
Mariusz Janiak is a robotics researcher whose work bridges the gap between technical control systems and human-robot interaction. His research spans three key areas: inverse kinematics for redundant manipulators, social robotics inspired by animal behavior, and medical robotics for remote diagnostics. Janiak’s most impactful contribution lies in his approximation of Jacobian inverse kinematics algorithms, where he developed methods for redundant robotic manipulators using differential geometric and variational approaches. These works, including his 2012 paper (21 citations) and 2009 foundational study (18 citations), have advanced motion planning for stationary and mobile robots. In social robotics, Janiak’s 2016 study (48 citations) demonstrated that humans attribute emotions to robots exhibiting simple behavioral patterns borrowed from dogs, offering insights into intuitive human-robot interaction. His 2013 work (22 citations) further explored what makes interactive robots social. Janiak also contributed to medical robotics through the REMEDI project, designing a robot for remote ultrasonography and auscultation (19 citations). His work on the mobile platform Rex (19 citations) and motion planning for skid-steering platforms (6 citations) showcases his versatility. With over 180 total citations, Janiak’s research continues to influence both theoretical robotics and practical applications in healthcare and human-robot interaction.
