Håkon Hagen Helgesen
Background and activities
I am currently working as a researcher on autonomous ships. My current research interesests includes autonomous docking, detection, tracking, navigation and SLAM in different applications. Previously, I worked as a PhD candidate on detection and tracking of floating objects using unmanned aerial vehicles with optical sensors.
I also teach in Guidance and Control of Vehicles (TTK4190) during the fall of 2020 and 2021.
