Research Focus
Intelligent robotic systems and AI-driven automation for industrial manufacturing and sustainable product lifecycle management
Generative CAD
Applying generative AI and large language models to automate and accelerate CAD design workflows. Includes AI-assisted geometry generation, design optimisation, and integration with robotic manufacturing pipelines for rapid prototyping and production.
Industrial Robotics & Automation
Programming and motion planning for industrial manipulators (UR5, KUKA). Developing ROS-based control architectures for automated manufacturing tasks including pick-and-place, inspection, and precision assembly.
AI & Computer Vision
Applying deep learning and large language models to automate component recognition, defect detection, and decision-making in robotic manufacturing cells. Directly applicable to quality inspection on automotive production lines.
Sustainable Manufacturing
Designing AI and DLT-based systems for the lifecycle management of industrial robots and electric vehicle batteries — supporting remanufacturing, refurbishment, and end-of-life automation in the automotive supply chain.
Robot-Assisted Assembly & Disassembly
Creating AI-driven frameworks for computer-aided design and automated disassembly sequence planning — critical for EV battery recycling and remanufacturing of automotive components.
