About
Tone Beate Gjerstad is a leading researcher at the intersection of industrial robotics, smart manufacturing, and sustainable automation. Her work focuses on integrating humans and robots in smart factories, particularly within the frameworks of Industry 4.0 and sustainable production. Gjerstad’s most influential paper, "Trends in Smart Manufacturing: Role of Humans and Industrial Robots in Smart Factories" (2020), has garnered over 200 citations, establishing her as a key voice in the evolution of collaborative and intelligent manufacturing systems. She has also made notable contributions to specialized automation, including the development of GRIBBOT, a robotic 3D vision-guided system for harvesting chicken fillets (60 citations), and pioneering work in robotics and automation for seafood processing. Her research extends to mapping energy consumption for industrial robots and enabling cost-efficient, high-variance, low-volume manufacturing with robot manipulators. Through these diverse contributions, Gjerstad demonstrates how robotics can address both productivity and sustainability challenges across food processing and general manufacturing, making her work essential for researchers and engineers advancing the next generation of smart, human-centric factories.
