About

Casper Thule is a researcher at the forefront of safe and trustworthy robotic systems, specializing in co-simulation and its application to safety-critical domains. His work centers on bridging the gap between virtual models and real-world hardware, ensuring that robots—from agricultural machines to elderly care assistants—behave reliably around humans. Thule’s major contributions include the development of fault-injecting co-simulations, which allow engineers to test robotic fleets under realistic failure scenarios without risking physical harm. His RMQFMU tool, a plug-and-play interface connecting co-simulation environments to external data via the AMQP protocol, has been pivotal for integrating historical data streams into simulation workflows. With his most-cited paper, “Fault Injecting Co-simulations for Safety” (2021, 6 citations), and subsequent work like “Building Safer Robots: From Simulation to Hardware Deployment” (2023, 3 citations), Thule has demonstrated a clear trajectory from theoretical frameworks to practical deployment. His research is essential for anyone developing autonomous systems that must meet rigorous safety standards, offering a robust methodology for validating robot behavior before hardware deployment.
