About

Amer Liaqat is a leading researcher in intelligent manufacturing and autonomous systems, with a primary focus on integrating mobile robotics into high-stakes industrial environments. His work centers on developing autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) for dynamic manufacturing floors, particularly in aerospace assembly and quality control. Liaqat’s most cited paper, "Autonomous mobile robots in manufacturing: Highway Code development, simulation, and testing" (2019, 36 citations), pioneers a rule-based "Highway Code" for AMRs, solving critical navigation and traffic-flow challenges that cause production delays. This foundational contribution enables safer, more efficient robot movement in complex, shared spaces. He further advances the field with "Context-Aware Plug and Produce for Robotic Aerospace Assembly" (2021, 4 citations), introducing flexible, reconfigurable automation systems that reduce costs and improve utilisation. His notable work, "Mobile Robots for In-Process Monitoring of Aircraft Systems Assemblies" (2022, 4 citations), demonstrates a mobile robot that autonomously inspects aircraft assemblies, replacing manual quality checks with precise, automated monitoring. By bridging robotics, manufacturing, and aerospace engineering, Liaqat’s research directly addresses industry needs for flexibility, efficiency, and quality assurance, making him a key contributor to the next generation of smart factories.
