About
Anders Robertsson is a prominent robotics researcher whose work sits at the intersection of industrial automation, robot control systems, and advanced motion planning. Based at Lund University, his research has fundamentally advanced how industrial robots interact with their physical environments, particularly through force feedback, sensor integration, and compliant motion control. Robertsson's most influential contributions center on making industrial robots more adaptive and capable in real-world manufacturing settings. His 2009 paper on cost-efficient robotic drilling with high-bandwidth force feedback (153 citations) demonstrated practical pathways to replacing expensive specialized machinery with flexible robot systems. Complementing this, his work on extending industrial robot controllers (122 citations) provided a foundational platform for fast external sensor integration, directly enabling applications like automated grinding and deburring in the EU-funded AUTOFETT project. His research also ventures into nonlinear control theory, with notable contributions on virtual holonomic constraints applied to underactuated mechanical systems like the Furuta pendulum and Pendubot, each garnering nearly 100 citations and bridging theoretical elegance with experimental validation. His 2012 work on sensorless force-controlled assembly (96 citations) further reflects his drive to deliver high-performance solutions with practical, cost-conscious constraints. Across his career, Robertsson has shaped both the theoretical foundations and industrial practice of intelligent robot control.
