About
Olaf Stroosma is a leading researcher in the field of advanced motion control for hydraulic robotic systems, with a particular focus on nonlinear dynamics and high-precision actuation. His most significant contribution is the development and experimental validation of Incremental Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion (INDI) control for long-stroke hydraulic manipulators—a domain where traditional linear control methods often fall short due to severe nonlinearities and model uncertainties. In his highly cited 2019 paper, Stroosma demonstrated how sensor-based INDI can achieve exceptional tracking accuracy and robustness without requiring an accurate system model, a breakthrough that has garnered 47 citations and influenced subsequent work in fluid power and robotics. His research bridges the gap between theoretical nonlinear control and practical implementation on heavy-duty hydraulic platforms. Stroosma’s work is particularly notable for its emphasis on real-time sensor feedback and incremental control laws, offering a scalable solution for applications ranging from construction machinery to flight simulators. Through his rigorous experimental approach, he has established himself as a key figure in modern hydraulic motion control.
