WASP Computer Vision Laboratory, WASP Sensor fusion, WASP Vehicular Systems and WASP Optimization for Learning and Autonomy are located at the Department of Electrical Engineering (ISY) on Campus Valla in Linköping.

This year’s edition of ISY Day offered lectures, discussions, and demonstrations within this year's theme "AI in Society, Education, and Research". A theme that is both current and highly relevant at the Department of Electrical Engineering.

Flying vehicles, manned and unmanned, are today equipped with large numbers of sensors. The vehicles are still controlled manually, but WASP doctoral student Per Boström-Rost shows in his licentiate thesis how the control can be made more autonomous.

When Vinnova recently surveyed research within artificial intelligence in Sweden, Linköping University was ranked a strong second. One of the leading AI environments in Sweden can be found at the Computer Vision Laboratory at Linköping University.

In his doctoral thesis, Bertil Grelsson shows that it is perfectly possible to navigate at sea and in the air with the aid of images. As long as it’s not too misty. The methods provide an important component in safe and robust navigation.

Oskar Ljungqvist, PhD student at the Division of Automatic Control at LiU, describes in his licentiate thesis the development of a system for motion planning and control, that enables trucks with trailers to move autonomously.

Kristoffer Bergman, doctoral student in Automatic Control, describes in his licentiate thesis methods to enable autonomous vehicles find the fastest or most energy-efficient path from starting point to a destination, even if obstacles are in the way.

Reversing a heavy truck with trailers is a job for a skilled professional driver – or a set of sensors and advanced computer software. Oskar Ljungqvist presents in his doctoral thesis a major step towards self-driving trucks.
