About
Haisen Zhao is a researcher at the forefront of robotic manipulation and autonomous manufacturing, with a particular focus on enabling traditional power tools with intelligent, autonomous capabilities. His most notable contribution is the development of the "Robotic Jigsaw" system, which integrates a non-holonomic cutting robot with a novel path planning algorithm to automate the use of bladed tools like jigsaws—common yet challenging implements in woodworking. This work addresses a critical gap in construction and workshop automation, where such tools have lacked sufficient hardware and algorithmic support. By designing both the robotic platform and the motion planning framework, Zhao has laid foundational groundwork for bringing adaptive, real-time cutting capabilities to autonomous systems. While his highly specialized work has garnered early citations, it represents a significant step toward practical, on-site robotic fabrication. Zhao’s research sits at the intersection of robotics, path planning, and manufacturing, offering promising avenues for future automation in carpentry and beyond.
