Adam Leon Kleppe

Adam Leon Kleppe is an Associate Professor at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), affiliated with the Department of ICT and Natural Sciences. He works extensively with MANULAB, focusing on robotic welding labs and Industry 4.0 labs, handling procurement, planning, installation, and maintenance. His research spans robotics, geometric algebra, point cloud processing, and automation technologies.

• Education: Master in Engineering Cybernetics with a specialization in robotics from NTNU (2013); Ph.D. (2018) on Point Cloud Registration for Assembly using Conformal Geometric Algebra.

Research Interests revolve around robotics, including inverse kinematics, point cloud alignment, obstacle detection, and geometric algebra applications. He also explores automation in manufacturing and aquaculture, such as deformable body modeling for salmon equipment testing and machine vision for fish bin picking.

Publication Trends show a consistent focus on geometric algebra-based solutions for robotic tasks, with recent work extending into biomechanical simulation and aquaculture automation.

Teaching includes courses like Mechatronics and Systems Integration, Automation and Mechatronics, and Industrial Control Systems. He also contributes to outreach via program management for AI videos on platforms like YouTube and LinkedIn.
