About

Lotte de Koning is a leading researcher in multi-robot systems, specializing in distributed control, adversarial robotics, and cooperative autonomy. Her most impactful work, "Skills, Tactics and Plays for Distributed Multi-robot Control in Adversarial Environments" (2018, 13 citations), introduces a hierarchical framework that decomposes complex team behaviors into modular skills and tactical plays, enabling robots to adapt in real-time to dynamic opponents—a foundational contribution to scalable, resilient multi-agent coordination. As a core member of the Tech United Eindhoven team, she co-authored multiple RoboCup Middle Size League championship papers (2014, 2016), detailing innovations in mechanical design, ball clamping systems, and velocity feedback control for passing accuracy. Her work bridges theory and practice, demonstrating how principled control architectures can achieve championship-level performance in adversarial settings. With over 27 citations across her key publications, de Koning’s research has shaped modern approaches to distributed robot teamwork, inspiring new generations of engineers to build smarter, more collaborative autonomous systems.
