About

Carl Ljung is a leading researcher in marine robotics, with a focus on autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and their application in aquaculture and environmental monitoring. His work centers on developing cyber-physical systems that enable "hydrobatic" AUVs—vehicles that combine energy-efficient cruising with agile maneuvering for complex underwater tasks. Ljung's major contributions include the design and field demonstration of integrated robotic systems for real-world ocean operations. His 2022 paper on autonomous seaweed farm inspection (29 citations) addresses critical challenges in deploying AUVs for the emerging large-scale seaweed aquaculture industry on the Swedish west coast, paving the way for sustainable ocean production. His 2020 work on cyber-physical systems for hydrobatic AUVs (25 citations) showcases system integration and successful field trials, demonstrating how these robots can revolutionize ocean sensing, security, and resource management. With a growing citation record and hands-on field demonstrations, Ljung is recognized for bridging the gap between theoretical robotics and practical, high-impact marine applications, making him a key figure in the future of autonomous ocean exploration and sustainable aquaculture.
