Robotics for better competitiveness

Robotics, intelligent automation and simulation can help companies to improve their competitiveness and productivity. In the project RoboSol, researchers from Luleå University of Technology will provide companies with the necessary know-how, demonstrations and information on actual solutions.

New research topic: Robotics and AI

Luleå University of Technology establishes a new research subject: Robotics and Artificial Intelligence. The Department of Computer Science, Electrical and Space Engineering will host the subject.

Field experiments of autonomous drones in a mine-like environment

For the first time, the robotics group at Luleå University of Technology showed field trials with autonomous drone flying in a mine-like environment. Research groups around the world have successfully flown autonomous drones indoors in labs, but few have the knowledge to fly autonomously outdoors and in dark and unstructured rock caverns or mines.

World class Recognition in Robotics and AI from the Robotics Team

The Robotics team at Luleå University of Technology is world class when it comes to Robotics and specifically drone technology. As part of NASA’s team in the Subterranean Challenge, they successfully came in second place in the world in the first circuit of the prestigious competition.

New Master programme in Cybernetics

Luleå University of Technology expands its range of master programmes with a Master programme in Cybernetics. The programme will meet the increasing needs of engineers for broad and advanced skills within AI, Machine Learning, and process control to tackle the challenges of sustainable development.

Applied AI – towards an AI Innovation Hub

12 Jun. 2019 12:00 – 13:00 , Vetenskapens hus:

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly used in both industry and private life. Welcome to a lunch lecture on Luleå University of Technology's aim to create an AI Innovation Hub.

Robots can handle aircraft inspection

Successful field trials have proven that it is possible to have a robot climb on an airplane for inspection purposes. – We are one of the first in the world to succeed with this task, says George Nikolakopoulos, Professor of Robotics and Automation at Luleå University of Technology.

Robotics collaboration with Honda Research

The Robotics Team of Luleå University of Technology has initiated a new prestigious collaboration with Honda Research Institute Japan. – The goal is to create a home service robot that support humans through every-day tasks, Georgios Andrikopoulos, Post Doc in Control Engineering.

Research in robotics recognized by IVA

The Robotics Group at Luleå University of Technology and their work with autonomous aerial inspection of wind turbines has been acknowledged by the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences, IVA.

Students compete in robotics

Their robot can pick up and stack cubes and press buttons. Students from the Master Programme in Engineering Physics and Electrical Engineering will now compete in robotics. – I hope we'll do a really good match, says student Robert Hedman.

Good impact for robotic researchers

The research group in Automatic Control at Luleå University of Technology had three presentations at the European Robotics Forum 2016 in Slovenia. – We have projects that put us in the spotlight in Europe, says Professor George Nikolakopoulos.

Robots for better safety in aircraft industy

Inspections of aircraft shafts done by robots in order to identify damages – it can become reality if the researchers in the Automatic Control Group at Luleå University of Technology succeed. – It is a futuristic idea, says Associate Professor George Nikolakopoulos and holder of the grant.

Large-scale lab provides unique opportunities

20 cameras with infrared technology contributes to a unique test site, which is one of the largest in Europe. – This opens up a whole new field of research issues, says Thomas Gustafsson, Professor and holder of a chair in Control Engineering.

New labor with flying robots

An aerial collaborative robotic team that can replace humans and conduct infrastructural inspections and maintenance tasks. Does it sound futuristic? It might become reality if the project Aeroworks reaches its final goals.
