About

Volker K. S. Feige is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of terahertz (THz) technology and industrial automation, with a core focus on non-destructive quality inspection. His major contribution lies in overcoming the fundamental limitation of traditional THz time-domain spectrometers—their single-point measurement capability—by developing semi-mobile, robotized systems that enable automated, contact-free scanning. Feige’s work on "Towards Automated Quality Inspection Using a Semi-Mobile Robotized Terahertz System" (2020, 4 citations) and "Imaging using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy in motion" (2021, 3 citations) demonstrates a novel approach to raster scanning, allowing for reliable measurements even when distance and angle to the object vary. This innovation is critical for real-world industrial applications, where flat samples are rare. Additionally, his earlier work on "Towards Real-Time Human-Machine Interfaces for Robot Cells Using Open Standard Web Technologies" (2012, 1 citation) showcases his broader expertise in integrating web-based interfaces into complex production lines. Though his citation counts are modest, Feige’s research is highly specialized and foundational, pushing the boundaries of how THz spectroscopy can be deployed in dynamic, real-world manufacturing environments. His work is particularly relevant for students and researchers interested in automation, sensor integration, and advanced imaging techniques.
