Robotics research concerns areas such as the robot's precision, ability to learn and senses – touch, hearing and vision. Robotisation, the automation of production and new kinds of fixtures are other important areas, as are other areas such as how well small and medium-sized enterprises keep up with developments in the field of robotics.

Robotics gathers together leading research within areas such as automatic control, computer vision, vehicle systems, artificial intelligence, visualisation and industrial production.

LiU is also home to the Wallenberg AI Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP AI), the largest ever individual research venture in Sweden. Researchers within WASP are focusing on autonomous systems, which often involve robots, and software development.

WASP - Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program

The fourth industrial revolution is upon us, as automation becomes autonomy. LiU conducts outstanding research in several of the fields that are central to the Wallenberg AI Autonomous Systems and Software Program, WASP.

Research arena Visionen

Visionen is a state-of-the-art research arena that provides a unique environment for experimental research and education. Visionen is operated by the Department of Electrical Engineering (ISY).

Fault Diagnostics and Prognostics

Fault diagnosis is about using observations, such as sensor signals, and a mathematical model of a technical system, to detect and diagnose abnormal system behavior.

Bionics and Transduction Science

The Bionic and Transductor Science unit conductrs research in the interface between biology, material science, transducers and microsystem technology.

Iterative learning control based on sensor fusion

The aim of the research is to improve the accuracy of industrial robots by using Iterative Learning Control in based on estimates of signals obtained by sensor fusion.

Robots aid in remanufacturing

Remanufacturing is a way to preserve the value of products that have already been manufactured. Researchers at Linköping University, LiU, have shown the potential of automation in repair and remanufacturing.

AI helping robots to make safe real-time decisions

If robots are to move among people in everyday life, they must be able to make decisions in real time, without human help. WASP doctoral student Olov Andersson describes in his thesis investigations into three different methods of learning.
