About

Reenal Ritesh Chand is a researcher specializing in robotic arc welding and manufacturing automation. Their work focuses on improving the quality and precision of robotic welding processes, particularly Gas Metal Arc (GMA) welding. Chand’s major contributions include the application of the Mahalanobis Distance method to assess and enhance welding quality, a novel approach that enables more reliable defect detection in automated systems. Additionally, they have developed and validated simulation and kinematic models for six-degree-of-freedom welding robots, using CATIA V5 to compare simulated performance with real-world kinematics. This work helps bridge the gap between virtual design and physical robot behavior, supporting more efficient process planning. While their most-cited papers have accumulated modest citation counts (4 and 3 citations respectively), their research represents foundational steps in integrating statistical quality control with robotic welding—a critical area for advanced manufacturing. Chand’s contributions are particularly relevant for engineers and researchers seeking to improve automation reliability in industrial welding applications.
