About
Christian Krogh is a leading researcher in the field of automated composite manufacturing, with a specific focus on the robotic draping of prepreg composite fabrics. His work addresses a critical challenge in industries like aerospace and automotive: the precise, wrinkle-free placement of tacky, woven carbon fiber materials onto complex, double-curved molds. Krogh’s major contributions lie in developing a comprehensive, path-dependent modeling approach that simulates the behavior of these fabrics during robotic manipulation, effectively treating draping as an optimization problem. His research has produced a novel, integrated robotic system—complete with specialized hardware and software—that can generate and execute feasible gripper trajectories, ensuring accurate material placement. With his most-cited works accumulating over 50 citations, Krogh’s impact is evident in providing a foundational, data-driven framework that moves composite layup from a manual, trial-and-error process to a precise, automated, and repeatable manufacturing operation.
