About

Mohd Saiful Bahari Shaari is a researcher whose work centers on the design and control of biomimetic robotic systems, with a particular focus on anthropomorphic manipulation. His most-cited paper, "Design and control of a multifingered anthropomorphic robotic hand" (2011, 12 citations), introduces a fourteen Degree of Freedom (DOF) hand that closely replicates the functional motions of a biological hand. By integrating micro servo-motors, pulleys, and belts, this work addresses the complex challenge of dexterous object handling, laying a foundation for more natural and adaptive robotic grasping. Beyond this flagship study, Shaari’s broader contributions span mechatronic design and control strategies that bridge the gap between human anatomy and robotic actuation. His research has informed the development of prosthetic and industrial grippers, emphasizing both mechanical fidelity and practical control. With a citation record that reflects growing interest in human-like robotics, Shaari’s work is particularly relevant for students and engineers exploring bio-inspired design, offering a tangible example of how theoretical kinematics translate into functional, multi-DOF systems.
