Robson, Nina
Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical Engineering
Biography:
Dr. Nina Robson earned M.S. degrees in electronics and automation engineering and in robotics and flexible manufacturing systems from the Technical University of Sofia. She also completed a 3rd M.S. in mechanical and aeronautical engineering from the University of California, Davis and a Ph.D in mechanical and aerospace engineering from the University of California, Irvine in 2008. During 2009-11, she was an assistant professor in the Department of Engineering Technology and Industrial Distribution at Texas A&M University. She has worked extensively in the areas of robotics, geometric design of mechanical linkages and kinematics of motion.
Dr. Robson's current research interest is on human motion planning with reduced mobility with the goal of developing novel technologies to facilitate the recovery of patients with neurological disorders. More than 60 of her papers have been published in peer-reviewed national and international journals and presented at conferences. Since at CSUF, Dr. Robson has been a recipient of a number of federally funded grants, including the NSF National Robotics Initiative NSF Collaborative Grant "A Design Methodology for Multi-Fingered Robotic Hands with Second Order Kinematic Constraints.”
