About

Mohamed Sadiq Ikbal is a robotics and human-computer interaction researcher whose work spans virtual reality tracking systems, bio-inspired robotics, and advanced motion simulation. His most influential contribution, "Dynamic Pose Tracking Performance Evaluation of HTC Vive Virtual Reality System" (2020), has garnered 42 citations and stands as a landmark reference for researchers across robotics, biomechanics, sports science, and rehabilitation who seek cost-effective motion tracking solutions. This work rigorously characterizes the spatial tracking capabilities of consumer-grade VR hardware, bridging the gap between commercial technology and scientific application. Ikbal has also made notable strides in tensegrity robotics through his development of HEDRA, a bio-inspired modular robot built from polyhedral parallel modules, which has attracted 22 citations and highlights his commitment to structural compliance, safety, and lightweight robotic design. His research further extends to motion cueing algorithms for VR gaming using sliding mode control, and to the mathematical modeling of tendon-driven robots for collaborative human-robot interaction — reflecting a broader vision of making robots safer and more intuitive for human environments. With nearly 80 cumulative citations, Ikbal's work meaningfully advances the intersection of soft robotics, virtual reality, and human-centered engineering.
