Responsible for cost analysis and technical validation for complex robotic integration projects. The role required bridging the gap between commercial estimates and engineering reality, using simulation to predict hidden costs (Hardware & Software) and validate the feasibility of synchronized multi-robot plants before material procurement.
Key Projects & Achievements:
"Multi-Robot Digital Twin": Developed complex simulations for plants with 4 synchronized robots (Welding, Assembly, Vision). Compared manual vs. robotized cycle times to validate client ROI;
"Component Lifecycle De-Risking": Predictive analysis of reducer thermal stress and optimization of Tool Change sequences to prevent downtime and unforeseen maintenance costs;
"Budget Accuracy": Rectification of initial cost estimates based on simulation data, eliminating budget variances during the component purchasing phase.
Appointed as an independent expert to guarantee the technical integrity of the national robotics competition. Responsible for the creation, validation, and standardization of "Test Projects" and marking schemes, ensuring that the challenges proposed to competitors were technically executable and free of design errors.
Key Activities:
"Simulation A/B Testing": Executed intensive stress-tests on competition applications in a simulated environment (ROBOGUIDE) to validate the feasibility of every task before release to competitors;
"Technical Standardization": Created training materials and courses for all competitors, raising the general technical standard of the competition and reducing preparation discrepancies;
"Assessment Supervision": Direct supervision of the competition and application of marking schemes to ensure objective evaluation based on real technical performance.
Member of the mechanical engineering team for the design and production of the "FORTUNA" Rover, destined for international ERC (European Rover Challenge) and URC competitions. Responsible for the design and prototyping of the robotic arm, aiming to maximize manipulation versatility in unstructured environments.
Key Technical Achievements:
"Custom EOAT Design": Mechanical design of gripper fingertips and the robotic arm, optimized to manipulate objects of variable geometry and weight typical of space challenges;
"Rapid Prototyping Strategy": Intensive use of additive manufacturing (3D Printing) to rapidly iterate the design and validate mechanical functionality before final production;
"Manufacturing Management": Creation of executive technical drawings and management of relationships with external suppliers for the production of structural metal parts.
The task was about Electrical Vehicle (EV) battery packages, including the sealing of the pack lid and vision inspection. The main aspects to work on were:
Provided technical support to the sales division through Pre-Sales engineering activities. Primary focus on creating virtual and physical "Proofs of Concept" to demonstrate the feasibility of complex applications (Bin-Picking, Vision Inspection) to clients and unlock commercial negotiations based on reliable technical data.
Key Projects:
"Bin-Picking Feasibility Studies": Conducted reachability studies and cycle tests in ROBOGUIDE to validate the handling of unstructured parts, ensuring required Takt Time compliance;
"Vision System Configuration": Performed camera calibration and selection of optimal lighting systems for vision tests on real client parts, providing detailed reports on detection performance;
"Payload & Durability Analysis": Executed load and software durability tests to confirm the correct sizing of the proposed robot.
