About

Marc Forstenhausler is a robotics researcher specializing in mobile manipulation and autonomous quality assurance systems. His primary research areas include mobile robot positioning, workspace optimization, and industrial automation for manufacturing processes. Forstenhausler’s most cited work, "Optimized Mobile Robot Positioning for better Utilization of the Workspace of an attached Manipulator" (2020, 10 citations), introduces a geometrically motivated representation of manipulator workspaces to minimize required base positions while ensuring task reachability—a critical contribution for efficient mobile manipulation in constrained environments. His 2022 paper, "An Autonomous Mobile Robot for Quality Assurance of Car Body" (2 citations), demonstrates a fully autonomous system for measuring flush and gap in car bodies, requiring only target selection and a coarse map to trigger operation. This work showcases practical deployment of mobile robots in automotive manufacturing, reducing human intervention in precision inspection tasks. Forstenhausler’s research bridges theoretical workspace optimization with real-world industrial applications, offering scalable solutions for flexible automation. His contributions are particularly valuable for students and engineers exploring mobile manipulator coordination and autonomous quality control in production lines.
