About

Arvid Amthor is a precision engineering researcher whose work centers on high-accuracy metrology and kinematic systems, particularly for industrial automation and robotics. His most cited paper, "Algorithm for a high precision contactless measurement system" (2014), introduces a Monte Carlo simulation of a self-calibration method for a multi laser tracker system (MLTS). This system, built from four laser trackers, enables contactless tracking of retroreflectors mounted on positioning stages or robot manipulators, achieving exceptional measurement precision. While his citation counts are modest—with this key paper garnering five citations—the work demonstrates foundational contributions to self-calibrating, multi-sensor measurement architectures. Amthor’s research addresses critical challenges in non-contact dimensional metrology, offering solutions for real-time, high-accuracy tracking in dynamic environments. His achievements include advancing the practical deployment of laser tracker networks for kinematic calibration, a vital step for improving the repeatability and accuracy of industrial robots and precision stages. For students and researchers in metrology, robotics, or automation, Amthor’s work provides a rigorous, simulation-driven approach to designing robust, self-correcting measurement systems that push the boundaries of contactless sensing.
