RobotLab LTH

RobotLab at LTH is a close collaboration between the Dept. Computer Science and the Dept. Automatic Control. Our main research is on autonomous robotic systems, with special focus on motion and compliance control, control system architectures, different sensor fusion problems, robot vision, and reinforcement learning. Our robotics hardware include modified and extended ABB robot control systems, Kuka IIWA robots, Universal Robots robots, a mobile robotic manipulator based on a MIR platform and a UR5e, a Boston Dynamics SPOT robot, and more. RobotLab LTH has a long history of industrial collaboration. The lab had also spin-offs, e.g., Cognibotics AB and RiACT A/S. RobotLab LTH organizes a yearly outreach event for schools (a robotics week) attracting several hundred students each year in the context of the annual euRobotics Week. In addition, we also participate in other outreach activities like Her Tech Future, Kulturnatten, and similar events. RobotLab LTH is an Open Door lab that offers companies access to advanced robotics hardware and know-how. RobotLab LTH has hosted several Master Thesis projects in cooperation with industry, e.g., ABB, Axis, B&R, Modelon, Cognibotics, Combine, Crazyflie, TWI Ltd., Tetra Pak, and many more.
