Areas of Research
Professor Nejat's research interests include autonomous systems,
robotics and mechatronics. In particular:
-
Assistive Devices: Design, development and implementation of
assistive robots and devices for medical applications.
Including the development of intelligent robots for
human-robot interaction.
-
Robot-Assisted Emergency Response: Development of
robotic systems capable of autonomous sensing, localization
and mapping in unknown cluttered environments.
- Sensor Agents: Development and application of
autonomous sensor agents for environment monitoring.
Her work has been published in several international journals
and conferences. She is a member of
the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc., including the Robotics and
Automation Society and Communications Society, and the
American Society for Engineering Education.
