Adam Leon Kleppe
About
I am an Associate Professor at the Department of ICT and Natural Sciences at NTNU in Ålesund. My main interests are:
🤖 Robotics
📷 Computer Vision
⚙️ Mechatronics
🧮 Geometric Algebra
🧑🏫 Pedagogy
🌻 Solarpunk
🍄 Goblincore
If you are interested in research or collaboration within any of these areas, feel free to get in touch.
I also give lectures on AI upon request, and I co-host the podcast Parasittpodden together with Pål Haugen. At the moment, I am working on a Norwegian textbook on robotics for bachelor students.
In addition, I am coordinator and researcher at the Ålesund Biomechanical Lab, where we conduct biomechanical studies on request.
I also serve as a Health and Safety Representative at IIR.
Dissertation
I completed my PhD in 2018, with the title: Point Cloud Registration for Assembly using Conformal Geometric Algebra
