2004

Kruusmaa worked as a senior information technology researcher at Tartu University Institute of Technology in 2004–2009 and was the co-founder and development director of Fits.me from 2009 to 2016.

She has been working at Tallinn University of Technology.

2008

There she has served as head of the biorobotics center 2008–2016 and professor 2008–2016; research vice-dean of the Faculty of Information Technology 2015–2019; Head of the Biorobotics Center of the Institute of Computer Systems; Professor of the Institute of Computer Systems since 2017; and research vice-rector from 2020.

Kruusmaa's main research areas are biorobotics, electroactive materials and devices and their control, underwater robotics and learning algorithms for intelligent robots.

According to the Estonian Academy of Sciences,"Kruusmaa is developing underwater robots that can make their own decisions. Until now, the biggest test of underwater technology has been how to control the robots, because often neither humans nor machines can communicate with each other in the water in a normal way. Kruusmaa has proposed new movement mechanisms for robots, taking the example of the best underwater navigators in nature - fish. Based on the same source of inspiration, she has developed current-sensitive sensors and actuators that improve the robot's perception of its environment."She is also the co-founder of the technology group fits.me and the startup firm SafeToAct which focuses on innovative solutions in medicine, such as the creation of an artificial kidney.

2020
