Personal profile

Research Interests

Adam has experience in the simulation, design, modelling, construction and control of robots and mechatronic systems for in-situ inspection and repair, parallel kinematic machine tools and surgical robots.

He has developed a number of novel machines, including a new type of 3D printer for metals based on Droplet on Demand technology.

His major research interests include:

  • Robotics
  • Mechatronics
  • Advanced Manufacturing Techniques
  • Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing)
  • Laser Ablation
  • Metal Materials

 

Recent Projects

  1. The ‘MiRoR’ project, an EU project focusing on the development of a hybrid, walking-robotic-system for performing in-situ inspection and repair. Adam’s work focused on the conceptual design and gait analysis of the WalkingHex walking machine tool robot and the design and construction of end-effectors for the SeRArm continuum robot.
  2. The ‘REINER’ project, a Rolls-Royce industrial project focusing on the development of mechatronic systems for inspection of aero-engines
  3. ‘SpineBot’, a project concerning the adaptation of an existing parallel kinematic machine tool, the FreeHex, to tasks related to corrective surgery for scoliosis.

Personal profile
