About
Jorge Perez is a pioneering researcher in the field of collaborative mobile robotics, with a specific focus on transforming manufacturing and assembly line environments. His core research areas encompass autonomous navigation, human-robot interaction, and the design of robotic systems for dynamic industrial settings. Perez’s most significant contribution is the development of the first mobile robot system capable of operating directly on the moving floors of automotive final assembly lines (AFALs), a breakthrough detailed in his highly cited 2018 paper (30 citations). This work addresses a distinct and challenging real-world problem, moving robots from static cells to active, moving production lines. Earlier, his 2014 work (17 citations) laid the groundwork by exploring control and sensing strategies for a mobile robotic assistant designed to perform fetch-and-deliver tasks alongside human workers, targeting the reduction of non-value added labor. Through this research, Perez is at the forefront of creating a new generation of robots that can safely and effectively collaborate with humans in complex, human-oriented manufacturing spaces.
