About
Claude Perron is a leading researcher in industrial robotics, with a focus on aerospace manufacturing applications. His work centers on three key areas: friction stir welding (FSW) using industrial robots, kinematic characterization of parallel manipulators, and robust force control for robotic systems. Perron’s most impactful contribution is his pioneering model-based framework for simulating FSW processes with industrial robots, which has garnered 37 citations and directly addresses the assembly of aircraft components made from aerospace aluminum alloys. He also developed innovative tools for the kinematic characterization of hexapods (Stewart-Gough platforms), converting commercial motion bases into heavy-duty industrial robots for aerospace manufacturing—a contribution cited 18 times. Perron’s work on robust force controller design for industrial robots with closed-architecture controllers, implemented on a KUKA robot, has been recognized with 8 citations. Additional notable achievements include developing a data decorrelation method for photogrammetric 3D position measurements and creating practical 3D path planning schemes for real-time robot simulation in aerospace manufacturing. With a total of 68 citations across his most-cited papers, Perron’s research has significantly advanced the integration of robotic systems into high-precision aerospace assembly processes.
