About

Greg Adams is an aerospace manufacturing engineer whose research has made significant contributions to the field of automated robotic systems for aircraft assembly. His work centers on the development and advancement of mobile robotic platforms capable of performing precision drilling, inspection, and fastening operations on large fixed aircraft structures, including wings, fuselage sections, and flaps. Adams's most recognized contribution, "Mobile Automated Robotic Drilling, Inspection, and Fastening" (2013, 22 citations), introduced a groundbreaking approach to coupling accurate robotic systems with mobile platforms featuring vertical axes, dramatically expanding the versatility and reach of automated assembly tools in aerospace manufacturing environments. Building on this foundation, his 2014 follow-up, "Next Generation Mobile Robotic Drilling and Fastening Systems" (12 citations), documented meaningful engineering refinements developed at Electroimpact, including a structural transition from welded steel tube frames to more robust welded steel plate architectures, improving dynamic performance and reliability. Through his work with Electroimpact, a leading aerospace automation company, Adams has helped push the boundaries of what robotic systems can achieve on the factory floor, contributing to faster, more precise, and more scalable aircraft production processes that continue to influence the broader aerospace manufacturing industry.
