About

E. Amine Lehtihet’s research bridges precision manufacturing and personalized robotics, with a focus on additive manufacturing (AM) and vision-assisted automation. His most cited work, “Evaluation of Additive Manufacturing Processes in Fabrication of Personalized Robot” (2017, 7 citations), explores how customer participation in design can leverage AM to create customized products, specifically evaluating cost, build time, and dimensional accuracy in fabricating an open-source robot arm. This contribution highlights his role in advancing personalized production systems. Earlier, Lehtihet developed pioneering techniques for surface mount technology (SMT) assembly, including a vision-assisted lead-to-pad alignment method (1995, 3 citations) that formulates alignment as a nonlinear optimization problem, and a robotic cell design for printed circuit board assembly (1992, 2 citations) addressing placement accuracy amidst system errors. His work integrates optimization, computer vision, and manufacturing processes, impacting both academic research and practical automation. Lehtihet’s career reflects a sustained commitment to enhancing manufacturing precision and enabling customer-driven design, with his additive manufacturing study marking a shift toward personalized, small-batch production. His contributions remain relevant for researchers in manufacturing engineering, robotics, and human-centered design.
