About

Andreas P. Weiss is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of optical wireless communication, visible light positioning (VLP), and intelligent sensing systems. His work centers on transforming standard LED lighting into multifunctional platforms for indoor localization, robotic control, and privacy-preserving sensing. Weiss’s most impactful contribution is the development of LEDPOS, a novel indoor positioning system that repurposes LEDs as both light sources and sensors, achieving centimeter-level accuracy for industrial robotics—a paper that has garnered 16 citations since 2024. He further advanced the field by demonstrating machine learning-assisted visible light sensing for robotic arm rotation tracking (11 citations), and designed a privacy-preserving VLP receiver using an ultra-flat singlet lens with high field-of-view and aperture (4 citations). His research uniquely addresses the critical challenges of cost, size, and privacy in practical deployment, making VLP viable for automated factories and smart environments. With a growing citation record and a focus on real-world applications, Weiss is establishing himself as a key innovator in visible light-based sensing and positioning technologies.
