Research Interests

The research interests encompass three broad areas of research: intelligent manufacturing automation, bio-

inspired computational intelligence and ergonomics for industrial application.

Intelligent manufacturing automation

Automation in manufacturing has allowed to mass produce products with a reduced level of

human participation at outstanding speeds and with great repeatability and quality. We explore

in-depth the manufacturing automation field by incorporating the intelligent systems into

motion controllers (motors, servos) and their corresponding interfaces, the Programmable

Logic Controllers (PLCs), machine vision cameras, sensors and other measurement equipment,

supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, material handling systems as well

as warehouse and storage systems.

processes

https://www3.nd.edu/~manufact/MPEM_pdf_files/Ch14.pdf

Research relevant titles:

1. Model, control and optimize the intelligent overhead crane system.

2. Development of intelligent linear conveyor system for manufacturing shop floor.

3. Implementation of intelligent machine vision control system to improve a high-

speed sorting process at production floor.

Bio-inspired computational intelligence

Biological systems and animal societies possess remarkable problem-solving capabilities. We

take inspiration from nature by developing and improving the bio-inspired algorithms to solve

and optimize a wide range of engineering problems such as motor control, control system

optimization, mechanical design, manufacturing process, manufacturing cell formation,

machine job scheduling, robotic team coordination and machine vision.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bio-inspired_computing

http://www.currentscience.ac.in/Volumes/103/04/0370.pdf

Research relevant titles:

1. Development of a multi-objective bats echolocation-inspired algorithm to optimize

metal cutting process.

2. Development of a many-objective bats echolocation-inspired algorithm to

optimize car side impact design.

3. A novel multi-objective adaptive bats sonar algorithm for finding Pareto optimum

solutions with fast computation time.

Ergonomics for industrial application

Ergonomics or human factors engineering are complementary disciplines concerned with the

design of systems, environments and devices which people interact with in the course of their

work. We focus on matching systems, tasks, products, and environments to the physical and

cognitive abilities and limitations of people. These research efforts result in safety and error

reduction, cost saved, cost avoided and higher man-machine system productivity.

http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/indg90.pdf

Research relevant titles:

1. Intelligent lift assist devices to increase productivity and reduce ergonomics risk.

2. Improving hand tools ergonomic value using intelligent decision support system.

3. Adaptive regression model for synthesizing anthropometric population data of

automotive manufacturing plant operators.

4. A study on the main risk factors of work-related musculoskeletal disorders in

automotive manufacturing workers.

5. Age-related operator deficits in a realistic instrument-control task of electronic

component assembly line: Assessment of possible motor, cognitive and mental

causes.
