Philip Long

Philip Long is a Lecturer in Automation, Robotics & Advanced Manufacturing at the Department of Mechanical & Industrial Engineering, University of Galway. He serves as a Principal Investigator in the Engineering Research Group (ERG), focusing on robotics and advanced manufacturing systems.

Research Interests: Active in robotics engineering, his work spans non-prehensile manipulation, sensor fusion for obstacle detection, wrench capability analysis in parallel robots, and human-supervised operations in extreme environments. His research integrates mechanical design, control theory, and AI to enhance robotic performance.

Recent Publications: His 2023 contributions include methods for state-triggered constraints in manipulation tasks, polytope-based performance metrics, and multi-sensor fusion techniques. Earlier work (2021) explores humanoid robot safety in radioactive environments.

Collaborations: Collaborates with researchers like Dr. Taskin Padır (Northeastern University) and Dr. Stéphane Caro (CNRS). Affiliated with institutions in Ireland and the US.
