About
Monika Florek-Jasinska is a roboticist whose research centers on whole-arm dexterous manipulation, tactile sensing, and vision-based control for robotic grasping and navigation. Her most cited work, "Humanoid compliant whole arm dexterous manipulation: Control design and experiments" (2014, 15 citations), introduces a paradigm where robots wrap around bulky or heavy objects to achieve stable grasps—a method that shifts the center of gravity inward, enabling the manipulation of items beyond the capacity of traditional grippers. This contribution addresses a critical gap in industrial and service robotics, where handling large, irregular payloads remains challenging. Florek-Jasinska further advances grasp reliability through her experimental study on model- versus learning-based slip detection (2019, 4 citations), demonstrating how tactile sensors complement vision and proprioception to prevent slippage without excessive force. Her vision-based solutions for object picking and distribution (2019, 5 citations) integrate navigation and manipulation, targeting autonomous logistics. With a total of 24 citations across her top papers, Florek-Jasinska’s work is foundational for developing robots that interact safely and efficiently with unstructured environments, making her a key figure in the evolution of compliant, sensor-rich robotic systems.
