About

Koen Paes is a leading researcher in industrial robotics, with a primary focus on energy efficiency and sustainable automation. His most-cited work, "Energy Efficient Trajectories for an Industrial ABB Robot" (2014, 108 citations), introduces a groundbreaking methodology for on-site identification and energy-optimal path planning. By using a non-invasive, quick approach with a CA8335 Qualistar three-phase electrical networks analyser, Paes demonstrated how to significantly reduce energy consumption in real-world manufacturing settings without compromising performance. This practical, industry-ready solution has made a lasting impact on both academic research and industrial practice, helping to lower operational costs and carbon footprints in automation. Paes’s contributions are particularly notable for bridging the gap between theoretical optimization and on-the-floor implementation, earning him recognition as a key figure in green robotics. His work continues to inspire engineers and researchers seeking to make industrial processes more efficient and environmentally friendly, with citation counts reflecting its enduring relevance in the field.
