About
Veiko Vunder is a robotics researcher dedicated to making advanced robotics accessible to students and professionals alike. His primary research areas include open-source robotic platforms, educational robotics, and human-robot interaction. Vunder’s most notable contribution is the Robotont series—a family of open-source, ROS-supported omnidirectional mobile robots designed for education and research. The flagship paper, “ROBOTONT – Open-source and ROS-supported omnidirectional mobile robot for education and research,” has garnered 32 citations, highlighting its impact on democratizing robotics learning. He also developed the “Open Remote Web Lab for Learning Robotics and ROS,” which provides an authentic developer environment for remote programming, earning 21 citations. Vunder’s work extends to soft robotics, with a shape-adaptive gripper made from artificial muscle (10 citations), and situational awareness tools using panospheric vision and virtual reality (7 citations). His TeMoto framework (6 citations) addresses adaptive autonomy for challenging environments. Through experience-based workshops, Vunder has also explored changing attitudes toward collaborative robots, bridging technical innovation with societal acceptance. His contributions are pivotal in shaping the next generation of roboticists.
