About

Sonny Tarbouriech is a leading researcher in human-robot collaboration, with a focus on developing safe, physically interactive robotic systems for industrial environments. His work centers on dual-arm collaborative robots (cobots) and admittance control strategies that enable robots to work alongside human operators in physical contact, not just shared spaces. As the architect of the BAZAR robot platform, Tarbouriech has pioneered kinematic control frameworks that minimize joint actuation for coordinated tasks while ensuring safety through bi-objective motion planning and continuous collision detection. His most-cited paper, “A collaborative robot for the factory of the future: BAZAR” (51 citations), established his vision for flexible production lines. Tarbouriech’s interdisciplinary impact is evident in studies showing that his cobot reduces upper limb motor coordination demands and low-back loads in actual industrial use-cases, with work cited over 150 times collectively. His 2019 admittance control paper (28 citations) remains a foundational reference for dual-arm physical collaboration. By bridging robotics, biomechanics, and manufacturing, Tarbouriech is shaping the next generation of factories where humans and robots work together safely and efficiently.
