About

Jens Hatwig is a specialist in industrial robotics and laser processing technologies, with a focused research agenda centered on the automation of remote laser beam welding (RLW) and remote laser beam cutting (RLC). His work addresses one of manufacturing technology's most promising frontiers: the integration of industrial robots with laser scanning systems to enable high-speed, contactless material processing with exceptional precision and quality. Hatwig's most significant contributions lie in the development of automated task and path planning systems that allow robots equipped with laser scanners to autonomously determine optimal processing trajectories. His 2010 paper on automated task planning has garnered 26 citations, establishing it as a foundational reference in the field, while his 2012 follow-up work on automated path planning systems has accumulated 18 citations, demonstrating sustained interest in his methodologies. He has also contributed to rigorous accuracy analysis of robotic and laser scanner systems, helping to validate the practical feasibility of these technologies in real industrial environments. For students and researchers entering the field of laser manufacturing automation, Hatwig's body of work offers essential insights into bridging the gap between advanced laser processing capabilities and intelligent robotic control systems.
