Omar Farooq is a Mechanical and Automotive Engineer based in Germany, with research interests in robotics, digital twins, mechanical design, renewable energy, and automotive engineering. He has completed his M.Sc. in Mechanical and Automotive Engineering at RWTH Aachen University and King Mongkut’s University of Technology North Bangkok as a DAAD scholar. At the Institute of Mechanism Theory, Machine Dynamics and Robotics (IGMR), RWTH Aachen University, his work focuses on anthropomorphic robotic hands, gripper design, robot simulation, and digital twin development using ROS 2, Gazebo, C++, Python. His master’s thesis investigated thumb degrees of freedom in anthropomorphic robot hands through Denavit-Hartenberg-based kinematic evaluation. The thesis has been submitted as a first-author manuscript to MDPI Robotics and is currently under review. His broader experience includes finite element simulation, CAD design, prototyping, robotic process simulation, and renewable-energy-based mechanical systems.
