About

Jaime Marco-Rider is a robotics and automation researcher focused on advancing industrial welding through intelligent sensor integration. His work centers on laser line scanning technology for robotic welding, particularly addressing the significant challenge of automating welding on reflective materials like aluminium. Marco-Rider’s key contributions include the development of a polarization image sensor-based laser scanner, designed to improve the reliability of 3D measurements on highly reflective metal surfaces. This architecture, detailed in his 2021 paper, enables more robust groove detection and positioning for robotic welding in demanding industrial settings. Building on this, his 2022 work introduces a novel trigger definition method that streamlines the automation of aluminium welding, reducing setup time for large-scale, complex structures. While his most-cited papers currently hold 3 and 2 citations respectively—reflecting the emerging nature of this specialized field—his research directly addresses critical economic and competitiveness challenges in manufacturing. By tackling the practical hurdles of sensor noise and surface reflection, Marco-Rider is paving the way for more efficient, automated robotic welding solutions in industries ranging from automotive to shipbuilding.
