Vita

Atabak Nezhadfard (Nejadfard) is currently a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Kaiserslautern since October 2013. His research field is focused on design and control of the bipedal robots particularly the adoption of biomechanics concepts like tendon elasticity and bi-articular actuation. Due to his graduate studies in control theory, he has developed the mechatronics and control for robots in a variety of applications. He is currently focused on the control of series elastic actuators and the proper utilization of actuator dynamics in the control of bipedal robots.
