About

Morten Breivik is a leading researcher in marine cybernetics and autonomous systems, with a focus on guidance, navigation, and control for marine craft and mobile robots. His major contributions include pioneering the application of missile guidance concepts to motion control of marine craft, a novel approach that has significantly advanced path-following and dynamic positioning for autonomous vessels. Breivik’s work on the Dynamic Positioning (DP) system for the ReVolt model ship (36 citations) demonstrates his hands-on impact, providing a critical test platform for sensors and control systems in autonomous shipping. He has also made influential strides in formation control for wheeled mobile robots (18 citations), addressing underactuated vehicle challenges such as lateral zero-speed constraints. With a career spanning over a decade, Breivik’s research bridges theoretical guidance principles and practical marine applications, earning him recognition as a key figure in the development of autonomous maritime technology. His work continues to shape the future of intelligent transportation systems, inspiring students and researchers in robotics and control engineering.
