About
Octavian Duca is a researcher in advanced manufacturing and mechatronics, with a focus on optimizing production systems through automation and robotics. His work centers on the control and planning of flexible assembly technologies, particularly in educational and industrial mechatronics lines. Duca’s most-cited paper, "Optimal control of the complete assembly/disassembly cycle for a mechatronics line prototype" (2019, 11 citations), introduces a control strategy for a complete manufacturing cycle using a wheeled mobile robot and robotic manipulator, emphasizing reversibility in assembly processes. His subsequent work, "Optimization of Production Planning for a Flexible Assembly Technology on a Mechatronics Line" (2021, 3 citations), develops an optimal production planning algorithm for an integrated flexible manufacturing system with six interconnected workstations, including two cells with six-degree-of-freedom industrial robots. These contributions advance the efficiency and adaptability of automated assembly lines, offering practical solutions for both educational prototypes and real-world manufacturing. Duca’s research is valuable for students and engineers seeking to integrate robotics into production planning, demonstrating how control strategies and optimization algorithms can enhance flexibility and productivity in modern mechatronics systems.
