About

Marco Friedmann is a researcher at the forefront of sustainable manufacturing and remanufacturing automation. His work centers on developing intelligent robotic systems for circular economy processes, with a particular focus on automated disassembly and handling of complex materials. His most impactful contribution, "Vision-Based Screw Head Detection for Automated Disassembly for Remanufacturing" (52 citations), addresses a critical bottleneck in remanufacturing by enabling robots to autonomously identify and manipulate threaded connections—a foundational step toward economically viable automated remanufacturing facilities. Friedmann's research extends to lightweight and sustainable design, where he has developed creativity methods for idea generation and evaluation in the conceptual design phase (10 citations), and created a methodology for sustainability assessment and decision support for handling systems (8 citations). He has also pioneered novel robot-based process chains for flexible production of thermoplastic components with CFRP tape reinforcement, and conducted thermal analysis of laser sintering machines for additive manufacturing of carbon fiber reinforced polymer parts. His systematic investigation of unscrewing process dynamics and automated stack singulation for technical textiles further demonstrates his comprehensive approach to production science. Through these contributions, Friedmann is helping to bridge the gap between manual labor-intensive remanufacturing and the automated, resource-efficient factories of the future.
