About

German Filippov is a specialist in ultrasonic non-destructive testing (NDT) and robotic inspection systems, with a particular focus on the quality assurance of complex-shaped composite structures. His research sits at the intersection of robotics, ultrasonic tomography, and advanced materials evaluation, addressing one of the most persistent challenges in industrial quality control: reliably inspecting geometrically intricate components such as carbon fiber composites. Filippov's most influential contribution, cited 11 times, introduces a noncontact calibration method for robotic ultrasonic tomographs that leverages 3D scanning to automate trajectory planning for robot manipulators — significantly reducing calibration time and minimizing displacement errors. Complementing this, his work on advanced ultrasonic testing of composite structures (9 citations) demonstrates the practical deployment of robotic ultrasonic systems for precision inspection tasks where conventional techniques fall short. His later research explores the application of Phase-Reversal Fresnel Zone Plates to enhance spatial resolution in robotic ultrasonic NDE systems, reflecting a commitment to pushing the boundaries of inspection fidelity. Across his body of work, Filippov has consistently worked to make automated ultrasonic inspection faster, more accurate, and better suited to the complex geometries increasingly common in modern aerospace and industrial manufacturing.
