About

Cecilia Haskins is a leading researcher in advanced manufacturing and systems engineering, with a particular focus on integrating robotics into high-cost production environments to sustain industrial competitiveness. Her major contributions center on developing systematic frameworks for trade-off analysis in robotic applications, most notably demonstrated in her seminal work on cascading trade-off studies for robotic deburring systems. This research provides a structured methodology for evaluating the complex interplay of technical performance, economic viability, and operational flexibility when deploying automation solutions. While her most-cited paper has garnered 3 citations, its impact lies in addressing a critical industry challenge: maintaining production in high-cost countries through intelligent automation. Haskins’ work bridges the gap between theoretical systems engineering and practical manufacturing implementation, offering decision-makers a rigorous approach to balancing cost, quality, and flexibility in robotic system design. Her research is particularly valuable for students and practitioners seeking to understand how advanced manufacturing technologies can be strategically deployed to preserve domestic production capabilities in the face of global competition.
