About

Sidney Bruce Shiki is at the forefront of industrial robotics and digital manufacturing, driving the transition to Industry 4.0 through strategic automation and additive innovation. His research centers on process robotization, digital twin integration, and robotic additive manufacturing—particularly fused pellet modeling for large-scale 3D printing. Shiki’s most influential work, the R&D roadmap for process robotization (18 citations), provides a structured guideline for embedding automation knowledge into concurrent engineering, a critical framework for factories pursuing digital transformation. He has also made significant contributions to robotic sealing monitoring through force and vision-based systems, and to tool wear monitoring in composite milling using low-cost vibration instrumentation. His studies on bed temperature’s effect on 3D-printed part quality (11 citations) and on developing process parameters for large PLA objects (6 citations) have advanced the practical application of robotized additive manufacturing. With papers spanning 2019 to 2025, Shiki’s work consistently bridges theoretical frameworks and industrial implementation, earning him recognition as a key contributor to the smart factory ecosystem. His research is essential reading for engineers and researchers seeking to integrate robotics with data-driven manufacturing.
