Robert Kupiec

About

Robert Kupiec is a leading researcher in industrial metrology, with a focus on coordinate measurement systems, robotic accuracy, and the integration of digital twins into quality assurance. His work centers on enhancing the precision of articulated arm coordinate measuring machines (AACMMs) and industrial robots used as measuring systems. Kupiec’s major contributions include developing metrological models that improve the accuracy of virtual AACMMs, as demonstrated in his 2018 study (18 citations), and verifying AACMM performance using LaserTracer standards (2016, 25 citations). He has also pioneered methods for correcting measurement errors in robotic systems equipped with contact probe heads (2022, 4 citations). Notably, his 2025 work on digital twins in coordinate metrology (1 citation) lays the groundwork for predictive data use in Industry 4.0 and 5.0 production cycles, moving beyond traditional inspection. Operating from the Coordinate Metrology Laboratory, Kupiec’s research bridges the gap between physical measurement and digital simulation, offering practical solutions for real-time quality control. With a cumulative citation count of over 50, his contributions are shaping the future of automated, data-driven manufacturing.
