About

Piotr Kohut is a researcher specializing in robotics, mechatronics, and machine vision, with a particular focus on inspection robotics and vision-guided autonomous systems. His work spans both underwater and industrial robotics, addressing real-world engineering challenges through innovative prototype development and practical implementation. Kohut has made significant contributions to underwater robotic systems, most notably developing a hybrid underwater robot for reservoir maintenance in collaboration with Cracow's municipal waterworks, his most-cited work with 15 citations. His research on tank and offshore infrastructure inspection robots further demonstrates his commitment to deploying robotics in complex, hazardous environments. A recurring theme across his work is the integration of vision systems into robotic platforms — from laser-dot projection methods for underwater pose estimation to low-cost vision solutions for industrial cobots — reflecting a sophisticated understanding of how perception enhances robot autonomy and precision. In the industrial domain, Kohut has explored quality control applications using UR5 collaborative robots, contributing to the growing field of intelligent manufacturing. His broader contributions to mechatronics, including crawler kinematics modeling and vision-supported mechatronic systems, have collectively accumulated over 70 citations, underscoring his steady influence across academic and engineering communities. His body of work offers valuable insights for researchers developing robust robotic systems for inspection and automation.
