About

Brett Green is a robotics researcher whose work has made significant contributions to the field of advanced manufacturing automation, particularly in aerospace applications. His most notable research centers on snake-arm robot technology — highly flexible, articulated robotic systems designed to access confined and complex spaces that conventional industrial robots cannot reach. In collaboration with OC Robotics and Airbus, Green has been instrumental in developing these innovative systems for automated inspection and assembly tasks within aircraft wing boxes, a domain previously considered inaccessible to automation. This work represents a meaningful shift in how the aerospace industry approaches manufacturing challenges, combining cutting-edge robotics with real-world industrial demands. His 2007 paper on snake-arm robots for aircraft assembly has garnered 83 citations, reflecting the broader research community's recognition of this approach as a landmark contribution to aerospace manufacturing robotics. An earlier 2006 iteration of this work, with 27 citations, demonstrates the sustained and evolving nature of his research program. Together, these publications establish Green as a pioneering figure in applying next-generation robotic solutions to one of engineering's most demanding industrial environments.
