About

Dr. Mina Pourmokhtari is a pioneering researcher in human-robot interaction and haptic systems, with a focused expertise on the biomechanical modeling of the human hand and arm. Her most notable contribution, detailed in her 2023 paper "The Influence of Sex Factor on the Modeling of the Human Hand/Arm Interacting with a Teleoperation System," addresses a critical gap in the field: the dynamical differences between male and female hand/arm models during interactions with haptic interfaces. By designing a linear one-degree-of-freedom experiment using the Novint Falcon robot, she provides foundational insights into how sex-based anatomical variations affect teleoperation performance and modeling accuracy. This work has garnered early recognition with 2 citations, signaling its growing importance for inclusive design in robotics and rehabilitation. Dr. Pourmokhtari’s research is essential for advancing ergonomic, gender-aware haptic systems, with implications for surgical robotics, prosthetics, and virtual reality. Her dedication to integrating sex as a biological variable in engineering models marks her as a forward-thinking contributor to more equitable and effective human-machine interfaces.
