About

Tommy Lillehagen is a leading researcher at the intersection of robotics and offshore engineering, whose work has been instrumental in advancing automation for the oil and gas industry. His key research areas include motion planning, robotic manipulation, and the deployment of autonomous systems in challenging maritime environments. Lillehagen’s major contributions are exemplified by his seminal 2011 paper on "Motion planning and control of robotic manipulators on seaborne platforms," which has garnered 41 citations and laid critical groundwork for enabling precise robotic operations on vessels subject to wave-induced motion. Complementing this, his 2010 study on "Robot automation in oil and gas facilities" (22 citations) provided compelling indoor and onsite demonstrations, highlighting how robotic technology can enhance safety, reduce environmental impact, and improve cost efficiency in hazardous settings. By addressing the unique challenges of seaborne platforms, Lillehagen has helped pave the way for more extensive automation in the energy sector. His work remains a vital reference for researchers and engineers seeking to deploy robots in dynamic, safety-critical environments, bridging the gap between theoretical control systems and real-world industrial applications.
