About
Vojtech Kabelka is a robotics researcher whose work bridges autonomous aerial systems and intuitive human–robot interaction. His most recognized contribution is the development of PaintCopter, an autonomous UAV designed for spray painting on complex three-dimensional surfaces. In his highly cited 2019 paper, Kabelka introduced a virtual reality interface that makes this system more user-friendly, enabling operators to guide the drone’s painting tasks with unprecedented ease and precision. This work, which has accumulated 32 citations, represents a significant step toward practical, deployable aerial manufacturing and maintenance tools. By combining UAV autonomy with immersive VR control, Kabelka addresses a critical challenge in robotics: how to allow humans to interact naturally with machines performing intricate physical tasks. His research sits at the intersection of aerial robotics, human–robot interaction, and applied autonomy, with implications for industrial painting, artistic creation, and infrastructure repair. Kabelka’s work demonstrates a clear commitment to making advanced robotic capabilities accessible and controllable, marking him as a promising voice in the next generation of robotics innovation.
