Parallel Robots: Mechanics and Control (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781032962092)

Hamid D. Taghirad received his M.Sc. in mechanical engineering (mechatronics) in 1993 and his Ph.D. in electrical engineering (control-robotics) in 1997, both from McGill University, Montreal, Canada. He is currently a Professor and Director of the Applied Robotics and AI Solutions (ARAS), at K. N. Toosi University of Technology. Additionally, he has served as a Visiting Professor at McGill University, ETS, Concordia University, and most recently at the University of Alberta in Canada. As a senior member of IEEE, Hamid D. Taghirad contributes to the field of Robotics as an associate editor of IEEE Transactions on Medical Robotics and Bionics (IEEE - TMRB) and Frontiers in Robotics and AI - Biomedical Robotics. He is also part of the editorial board of the International Journal of Robotics: Theory and Applications. His research interests primarily revolve around robust and nonlinear control applied to robotics, with a focus on medical robotics, as well as the application of VR and AI technologies in medical applications. He boasts a substantial publication record, including seven books and over 300 papers in peer-reviewed international journals and conference proceedings.
