About
Jamie Hathaway is a robotics researcher whose work sits at the intersection of intelligent robotic control and sustainable manufacturing, with a particular focus on automating the disassembly and recycling of electric vehicle (EV) batteries. With over 85 citations across recent publications, Hathaway has rapidly established a meaningful presence in both the robotics and circular economy communities. Hathaway's most influential contribution, "Towards Reuse and Recycling of Lithium-Ion Batteries" (2023, 40 citations), tackles one of the clean energy transition's most pressing challenges: safely and efficiently recovering valuable materials from end-of-life EV batteries using telerobotics. This work is complemented by a rigorous technoeconomic assessment of robotic disassembly pipelines, offering practical guidance for industry adoption. Beyond battery recycling, Hathaway has made notable advances in contact-rich robotic manipulation, developing vision-guided model predictive control, reinforcement learning frameworks with curriculum-based domain randomisation, and sim-to-real transfer techniques for robotic cutting — capabilities directly applicable to disassembly automation. The thread connecting this body of work is a commitment to making robots adaptive, safe, and economically viable in unstructured, uncertain real-world environments — qualities essential for the future of sustainable manufacturing.
