An advanced and intelligent manufacturing pipeline for Roboforming — a flexible, low-cost, software-controlled alternative to both traditional and CNC forming, targeted currently at prototyping and low-volume, high-mix applications.

Heavily rigid and high-payload-capacity robots are used conventionally for robotic incremental forming. Contrary to that, this work uses low-payload collaborative robots on opposite sides of the sheet — enabling far better geometric accuracy and lower forming forces, integrating AI-based force-controlled path planning. The result is a far cheaper, more accessible, and more deployable forming setup.

After designing and manufacturing the custom fixture, the path is planned with both the robot's own planner and with the target of a custom AI-informed forming path planner. The whole pipeline is now being finalized and tested with ROS 2 to make Roboforming parametric and flexible.

Mechanical design and structural validation for the HM-120 250B-55 — a high-capacity, servo-driven hydraulic test bench by Hamburg Maschinen, capable of testing hydraulic pumps, valves, hoses, and assemblies up to 120 LPM at 250 bar.

I designed the mechanical enclosure, hydraulic plumbing layout, and instrumentation panel, and validated the frame structurally under continuous operating loads.

I also contributed to the bench's automation: a 55 kW AC servo-driven pump drive with closed-loop speed and load control, an integrated pilot hydraulic circuit for smooth DCV actuation, and digital instrumentation alongside analog gauges. Hands-on work spanned NI cRIO and LabVIEW Real-Time for sensor data acquisition (pressure, flow, temperature) and automated test sequencing across pump, valve, and hose validation workflows.
