Jonas Sjoberg

Jonas Sjoberg is a Professor of Mechatronics at Chalmers University of Technology and leader of the Mechatronics research group. His work spans over 30 years with 143 publications and leadership in 29 research projects. His current research focuses on autonomous vehicle systems, vehicle dynamics, and traffic safety applications.

Dr. Sjoberg's research interests center on mechatronic systems for transportation applications. His work bridges theoretical control systems with practical automotive implementations, particularly in autonomous vehicle technology. His research group investigates vehicle dynamics, path planning, intersection management, and safety systems, with growing emphasis on micromobility applications including autonomous bicycles and pedestrian interaction. Recent work demonstrates strong focus on real-world applications of control theory to improve vehicle safety and performance.

His publication record shows consistent output with 15+ papers annually, demonstrating sustained research activity. The work spans fundamental control theory (system identification, nonlinear control) to applied transportation problems (intersection management, road surface estimation, autonomous docking). Recent publications show increasing focus on micromobility applications, particularly autonomous bicycles, and integration of machine learning techniques with traditional control approaches.

Dr. Sjoberg leads multiple significant research projects including MicroSIM (2026-2027), Mintox (2025-2026), and MicroITS, with funding from VINNOVA, EU, and industry partners. His projects address critical challenges in autonomous vehicle safety, micromobility integration, and traffic management.

As leader of the Mechatronics research group, Dr. Sjoberg oversees research on vehicle control systems, autonomous driving technologies, and safety applications. His laboratory work focuses on practical implementation of theoretical control concepts, with recent emphasis on bicycle dynamics and micromobility safety systems.
