About

Henrik Lemcke Alfheim is a leading researcher in maritime control systems, with a primary focus on dynamic positioning (DP) and autonomous vessel technology. His most influential work, "Development of a Dynamic Positioning System for the ReVolt Model Ship" (2018), has garnered 36 citations and stands as a cornerstone in the field of autonomous shipping. In this study, Alfheim designed, implemented, and tested a DP control system for a scale model of DNV GL’s concept ship ReVolt, transforming it into a versatile test platform for sensors and control algorithms. His contributions directly address the critical challenge of maintaining vessel position and heading without human intervention, a key enabler for next-generation autonomous vessels. By bridging theoretical control engineering with practical, model-scale experimentation, Alfheim has provided the research community with a validated framework for developing and benchmarking autonomous navigation systems. His work is frequently referenced in studies on sensor integration, fault-tolerant control, and maritime autonomy, cementing his reputation as a pivotal figure in the transition toward unmanned ships.
