Research summary
AI-generated

Jan Brinker's research focuses on parallel robots, especially Delta-style robotic arms used in high-speed manufacturing and material handling. His work covers the design, kinematics (motion analysis), dynamics (force and motion modeling), and stiffness of these robots, as well as planning how reconfigurable robotic production systems can be optimized. Some publications also address automated handling of textile materials for manufacturing.
