About
Morten Kristiansen is a prominent researcher in robotics, automation, and intelligent manufacturing systems, with particular expertise in mobile robotics, robotic programming, laser processing, and automated quality inspection. His work spans over two decades, addressing the challenge of bringing flexible, intelligent automation to complex industrial environments. Kristiansen's early contributions include pioneering work on automatic robotic spray painting for high-variant parts through the EU FlexPaint project (2002, 17 citations) and the development of the mobile robot "Little Helper," a concept designed to meet growing demands for adaptive industrial automation (2009, 41 citations). His research on constraint optimization for robotic arm scheduling further demonstrated his ability to tackle computationally demanding automation problems (2013, 51 citations). In more recent years, Kristiansen has advanced automated systems for composite fabric draping, remote laser processing, and post-weld treatment using high-frequency mechanical impact (HFMI) technology — work that directly improves weld fatigue life and reduces dependence on skilled manual operators. His contributions to galvanometric scanner calibration and redundant robotic task sequencing reflect a sustained commitment to precision and flexibility in advanced manufacturing. Collectively, his body of work has accumulated over 150 citations, making him a meaningful contributor to industrial robotics research.
