About
Thomas Nicky Thulesen is a robotics researcher focused on advancing agile and flexible automation for high-wage manufacturing environments. His primary research areas include robotic assembly, dynamic simulation for manipulation, and gripper design optimization. Thulesen's major contributions center on enabling high-mix, low-volume production through robotic cell matrices, as demonstrated in his most-cited work on SDU Robotics' assembly cell at the WRC 2018 (19 citations). He has also advanced the field by developing the RobWorkPhysicsEngine, a novel dynamic simulation engine that addresses inaccuracies in traditional physics engines used in robotics, improving the realism of manipulation simulations (6 citations). Additionally, his work on optimizing grippers to compensate for pose uncertainties through dynamic simulation (3 citations) offers practical solutions for industrial grasping challenges. Thulesen's research is particularly notable for bridging the gap between simulation and real-world robotic performance, directly supporting the automation of late-stage production processes. His work has been recognized within the robotics community for its practical impact on industrial automation, making him a key contributor to the development of more adaptable and efficient robotic systems for modern manufacturing.
