About
Zeqi Hu is a leading researcher in robotic wire and arc additive manufacturing (RWAAM) and gas metal arc welding (GMAW), with a focus on advancing the precision, automation, and structural integrity of metal additive processes. His work addresses critical challenges in fabricating complex curved and overhanging structures, including the development of multi-bead overlapping models with varying cross-section profiles and region-based path planning methods that enable all-horizontal welding positions. Hu has made significant contributions to predicting welding parameters for arbitrary layer heights and calibrating robotic work coordinates using single-camera systems, enhancing the accuracy and adaptability of additive remanufacturing. His research on bimetallic hierarchical structures combining hot-working tool steel and martensitic stainless steel has advanced the understanding of microstructure and mechanical properties in directed energy deposition. With over 320 citations across his most-cited works, Hu’s impact is evident in his widely referenced studies on molten pool behaviors and forming appearance in complex-surface GMAW (95 citations) and his foundational 2019 paper on multi-bead overlapping (84 citations). His recent work on enhanced robotic path planning for curved surface repair using binocular vision 3D reconstruction further underscores his commitment to practical, high-precision solutions for aerospace, automotive, and energy industries.
