Summary
Milutin Nikolic is an associate professor and robotics researcher with 11 years of professional experience and a decade-long focus on walking and humanoid robots, industrial automation, and optimal control. He combines deep theoretical expertise in task-space control, contact stability, and convex optimization with hands-on system work—having developed control software for a human-sized humanoid (Smith), integrated ABB/FANUC cells into courses and industry, and led arm-control at Aeolus Robotics. He has a strong track record of academic output and teaching from introductory labs to advanced courses in industrial and biomedical robotics, and has supervised numerous theses while presenting at international conferences. Comfortable coding in C/C++ and Python and daily MATLAB use give him rapid prototyping and algorithm-implementation skills that bridge research and applied deployment. Notably, his experience spans cross-cultural research stints in Japan and practical industrial deployments like plasma-cutting automation, reflecting an ability to translate novel control theory into real-world robotic systems.
