Dr. Roy Featherstone


I joined the ANU in June 2001, and I currently hold a part-time appointment in the Department of Information Engineering (Robotic Systems Group).  Before that, I was a lecturer in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth, an EPSRC Advanced Research Fellow in the Department of Engineering Science (Robotics Group), Oxford University, and a senior researcher at Philips Research Laboratories, Briarcliff Manor, New York.  I obtained my Ph.D. at Edinburgh University (Dept. of Artificial Intelligence), and my first degree at Southampton University.  I am the inventor of the Articulated-Body Dynamics Algorithm, and the author of the books Robot Dynamics Algorithms and Rigid Body Dynamics Algorithms.  For more information about myself or my work, follow the links below.
