Hi, I'm Finn!

Finn Ferdinand Schjøll Sandvand, M.Sc. Cybernetics and Robotics

I'm an engineering student passionate about solving real-world problems using technology. I love working on hands-on projects, coding smart systems, and continuously learning new tools and techniques.

Projects and Achievements

Orbital Stabilization

Orbital Stabilization for Control of Mechanical Systems

I am currently writing my master's thesis on control design based on methods from orbital stabilization as the final leg of my journey to obtain a Master of Science in Cybernetics and Robotics at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). The methods will be applied to control a 2-DOF helicopter.

UAV Estimation

Estimating UAV Pose from Radar

During the summer of 2024, I was an intern for Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace. There, I developed methods for estimating the position of UAVs using radar technology, and control methods for tracking moving targets using a remote weapon station.

Path Planning

Path Planning for UAV Search & Rescue Missions

During the aummer of 2023, I was an intern for Teledyne FLIR UAS. There, I developed a path planning algorithm for search-and-rescue and mapping missions with the Black Hornet 3 with a goal of minimizing the required flight time.
