About

Igor V. Petranevsky is a robotics and control systems researcher whose work bridges industrial automation and education. His primary research areas include human-free robotic automation, robust control for autonomous systems, and cyber-physical systems for Industry 4.0. Petranevsky’s most impactful contribution is his 2016 paper on "Human-free robotic automation of industrial operations" (17 citations), which resulted from a collaboration between ITMO University and Thermex, demonstrating a cyber-physical system that reduces human intervention in production. He also developed an "Output robust control with anti-windup compensation for robotic boat" (14 citations), addressing saturated control for autonomous marine vehicles with unknown parameters. His educational impact is evident in "Manipulation Tasks in Robotics Education" (7 citations), which created laboratory exercises for ITMO’s master’s program in control methods. Notably, his 2018 case study on human-free water heaters production for Industry 4.0 (4 citations) integrated three different articulated robots—Mitsubishi, KUKA, and Kawasaki—into a unified MATLAB-based control system. Petranevsky’s work exemplifies how university-industry partnerships can advance both practical automation and robotics pedagogy.
