Henrik Schmidt-Didlaukies

Henrik Schmidt-Didlaukies is a Research Fellow in the Department of Engineering Cybernetics at NTNU. His work focuses on advanced control systems for marine and robotic systems, with a particular emphasis on path following, navigation, and robust control methodologies. He has contributed to projects involving underwater vehicles, autonomous marine systems, and sensor-based control strategies. His research integrates theoretical frameworks with practical applications, including experiments in confined maritime environments and cooperative robotic systems.

Key research areas include:

• Nonlinear control and adaptive systems
• Path planning and guidance algorithms
• Underwater robotics and vehicle dynamics
• Autonomous navigation and sensor fusion
• Collision avoidance and safety-critical systems

Recent work highlights include developing anti-windup guarantees for curved path guidance, learning-based optimization for marine vehicles, and experimental validation of obstacle-aware collision avoidance. He has presented findings at major conferences including IFAC World Congress and IEEE OES events.
