A summary of my research and publications for the year 2015
The year 2015 has been an exceptionally productive year from a research point of view. A list of my publications for the year 2015 is reported in the following.
Control Strategies for Snake Robot Locomotion in Challenging Outdoor Environments (SNAKE)
This project aims to develop new methods and tools to control snake robots for use in challenging real-life operations, in earthquake-hit areas, pipe inspection for oil and gas industry, fire-fighting operations and search and rescue. The research team is composed of some members from the Department of Engineering Cybernetics, NTNU, including Associate Professor Øyvind Stavdahl, Research Scientist Pål Liljebäck and Postdoctoral Fellow Filippo Sanfilippo. Other members of the research team are

Best Poster Award at the Proceeding of the 11th IEEE International Conference on Innovations in Information Technology (IIT’15)
I am very glad to announce that our work titled "Fully-Immersive Hapto-Audio-Visual Framework for Remote Touch" has been awarded as the "Best Student Poster" at the Proceeding of the 11th IEEE International Conference on Innovations in Information Technology (IIT’15), Dubai, United Arab Emirates, November 1-3, 2015.
Integrated Marine Operation Simulator Facilities for Risk Assessment Including Human Factors
Real offshore operational scenarios can involve a considerable amount of risk. Sophisticated training programmes involving specially designed simulator environments constitute a promising approach for improving an individual's perception and assessment of dangerous situations in real applications. One of the world's most advanced providers of simulators for such demanding offshore operations is the Offshore Simulator Centre AS (OSC). However, even though the OSC provides powerful simulation tool
