Most robotics research deploys intelligent algorithms on simple hardware. Manufacturing researchers often do the opposite: build specialized machines to avoid complex reasoning systems. I am interested in exploring what can be achieved when you combine the adaptability of intelligent algorithms with the robustness of industrial hardware. My ultimate vision is to enable robotic manufacturing systems that can autonomously produce or repair arbitrary parts. To achieve this, I work on the algorithmic design of robotic manufacturing systems, the development of algorithms for planning and control, and the integration of these into real-world systems.

Cycle time is critical in robotic cells where material handling often presents a bottleneck and in turn depends on the cell layout. Optimizing robot cell layouts is therefore …
To support the circular economy, robotic systems must not only assemble new products but also disassemble end-of-life (EOL) ones for reuse, recycling, or safe disposal. Existing …
