Prof. Tanio Tanev received an M.S. degree in mechanical engineering from Technical University, Sofia, Bulgaria, in 1982, and a Ph.D. degree in robotics from the Institute of Mechatronics, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Sofia, Bulgaria, in 1994. He has been a full professor at the Institute of Robotics since 2015. He was a post-doctoral researcher in Salford University, UK (1995). He has research experience in Bulgarian research institutes and UK universities (the Open University, UK). He is a member of the “Computational Kinematics” Technical Committee of the IFToMM (International Federation for the Promotion of Mechanism and Machine Science). He is the coordinator for the Institute of Robotics for the project Centre of Competence “Smart Mechatronic, Eco- and Energy Saving Systems and Technologies". His research interests include robot kinematics, robot singularities, computational kinematics, robot performance, parallel robots, medical robots, social robots, and mechatronics.
