About
Janosch Nikolic is a leading researcher in robotics, specializing in visual-inertial sensor systems, calibration, and aerial service robotics. His major contributions include the development of the widely-used Kalibr calibration toolbox, which he extended to calibrate multiple IMUs and individual axes—a foundational tool for multi-sensor robotic systems (379 citations). He also designed a synchronized visual-inertial sensor system with FPGA pre-processing, enabling accurate real-time SLAM for micro aerial vehicles (270 citations). Nikolic’s work on UAV systems for industrial inspection, including a small-scale UAS for enclosed environments (244 citations) and aerial robots for thermal power plant boiler inspection (86 citations), has advanced autonomous inspection in hazardous settings. He was a key contributor to the European AIRobots project, which pioneered aerial service robots for remote inspection by contact. With over 1,000 total citations, his research has had a lasting impact on robot navigation and calibration, providing essential tools and systems that enable robust, real-time performance in complex environments.
