Drone competition can yield 10 PhDs

Luleå University of Technology’s robotics team have reached the final in the prestigious worldwide Mohamed Bin Zayed International Robotics Challenge (MBZIRC). Together with the Technical University of Denmark they are competing for 2 million US dollars.

Robot event for students

The robotics and AI research group invited the university's students to meet a group of rigid employees – robots. The event was held within the framework of European Robotics Week 2022.

illuMINEation --- Project video

Last week we released the trailer as a sneak peek to our project video. Now it’s time to present the full-length film to show you all aspects of this amazing project illuMINEation.
Find out about the potential that digitisation offers for the mining industry. We show you our approach to improving s...

Academic Ceremony 2022

During the academic ceremony at Luleå University of Technology, the new doctors and honorary doctors received their hats, professors were installed and adjunct professors were awarded diplomas.
It was celebrated on Saturday with a ceremony and subsequent banquet.

To find life in space with NASA/JPL

Luleå University of Technology is among the few to be part in a prestigious collaboration with NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) with the aim of exploring signs of life in other planets. This collaboration might prove itself to answer the frequently asked question: “Is there life in other planets...

One’s scrap is another’s treasure

Using metallic scrap as a source when manufacturing steel saves both raw materials and energy which results in a more environmentally friendly manufacturing process.
Scrap is a fantastic resource to use which is why researchers at Luleå University of Technology are trying to make the recycling pr...

Strengthened collaboration with PRV

Conscious strategies for how to manage intangible assets such as inventions, designs, brands, software and data are important. Partly to make use of academic results, partly for a good collaboration between academia and industry. The Patent and Registration Office (PRV) can help increase the univers...

Increased efficiency with robots in cable tunnels

In the future, robots can be able to investigate underground cable tunnels. Researchers in Robotics and AI at Luleå university of technology have collaborated with Svenska kraftnät to increase their knowledge about a robotic setup for this kind of infrastructure.

Development of computer vision for orbits

Luleå University of Technology's researchers in Robotics and AI have started a collaboration with the Luleå company Vimotek with the goal of developing AI algorithms for computer vision that will improve the control of satellites in orbit.

illuMINEation improves health, safety and environmental performance in the mining sector

Europe’s valuable mineral deposits can only be exploited, if the very strict legal and environmental requirements are met and the local communities do not perceive mining operations as a risk to their livelihood, rather as a source of work, income and prosperity.

Mine Equipment Autonomous Inspection via Drones

LTU Robotics and AI team during illuMINEation develop autonomous drones as agile inspectors, first response units, and data link extenders for underground mines. Their integration with the mining equipment will provide additional value to mining operations. In the following video, our drone with emb...

Autonomous drones carrying out dangerous mining work

The vision is that in the mines of the future, machines will do all the work. To realize this vision, you must develop an essential element – something else that can perform dangerous tasks efficiently and independently.
