About

Samiha Durnagoez is a robotics researcher whose work bridges the gap between industrial automation and human skill transfer. Her primary research focuses on skill-based robotic programming, human-robot collaboration, and intelligent manufacturing systems. Durnagoez’s most notable contribution is her pioneering work on automating complex assembly tasks, specifically the installation of automotive wire harness connectors—a process traditionally reliant on human dexterity and experience. Her 2025 paper, "Automotive Wire Harness Connector Installation Using Skill-Based Robotic Programming," has already garnered 2 citations, demonstrating early recognition in a niche but industrially critical area. By encoding human expertise into robotic systems, she enables machines to perform delicate, non-repetitive tasks with precision, reducing production errors and increasing efficiency. Durnagoez’s research is particularly impactful for the automotive sector, where wiring harness assembly remains a bottleneck. Her work not only advances manufacturing robotics but also contributes to the broader field of skill transfer, offering a template for automating other manual-intensive processes. With a focus on practical, scalable solutions, Durnagoez is shaping the future of smart factories and human-robot teamwork.
